Bathurst Race 5 - Boys To The Bush Gold Crown Bronze Consolation
IAM HUGO (4) found the opposition too strong in the heats but he draws a little closer to the pegs and led from a similar draw when he scored two back at Albion Park. This looks winnable. STRANGER EFFECT (8) broke in the score-up last start but there was some merit in his fourth to kick off his career here two back. LUCKY BAMBINO (1) race parked from a wider draw and faded out of his heat last week but could be an improver from the ace draw. FOURTY ONE GEE (2) can be competitive with the aid of the a good draw.

Last start was well beaten into seventh behind A Buck Ten at this track over 1730m in a 2yo No NR CG on March 21 at $26. Raced better the start before that where he won by 2.25 m as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr3) at Albion Park (2:01.30) beating Kash Fund in 2yo No NR on March 4 at $2 at the bell was leading 4.8m on the pegs. Can be in the finish.
