Bathurst Race 8 - Gold Crown Finals Night 29Th March 5Pm Till Late Pace
PEAKSART (2) led and kept going when he scored two starts back before racing parked but fighting on well at his latest appearance at Junee, beaten just a head into second. Should enjoy an economical run from this draw. Primary contender. BELLAGANOOSH (3) did a good job last start when she came from a wider barrier and finished third, beaten 3.2 metres at this venue and distance. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Big chance. LUCKY ZARA (8) has had two months off since placing at her last two outings but was kept up to the mark with a nice trial so must be considered despite a wide draw. A ROCKNROLL STAR (4) has been coming from the back row of late including a second at Parkes two back. Can feature.

Back in form at the last couple of outings, two starts back won by 8 m as favourite when quickly away, (Fr3) at Dubbo (2:07.20) beating Whataboutbronson in NR up to 33 on March 7 at $2.40.

Last start 3rd (Fr4) over 1720m at Dubbo, beaten 10 m by Peaksart (2:07.20) in NR up to 33 on March 7 at $12. Two runs back broke in score up and was out of position at the start 9th (Fr1) over 1730m at this track, beaten 85 m by The County Sheriff (2:07.10) in NR up to 45 on January 22 at $151. This looks a far sterner task.
