Bathurst Race 4 - Michael Brown Planning Gold Bracelet Final (Group 2)
SOHO AMERICANO (1) is flying having stretched her winning streak to five when proving too good in her heat, coming from a wider barrier to get home by 5m. Beat several of tonight's main rivals when she won the G3 Raith Memorial at Menangle two back. The ace draw gives her the chance to do it again. SUGAR PIE HONEY (4) has really come on since her fresh placing behind SOHO AMERICANO in the Raith, beating the boys at Menangle two back before a dominant heat win by close to 19m on Monday. That saw her unbeaten at this venue and distance. Huge threat. GUNNA RELOAD (10) overcame a wide barrier when winning her heat. Draws on the back row but won her only third-up attempt so can progress further. NAMAKA (11) is another drawn on the second line but she is a talent who should be close to her peak third up after missing by just a nose last start. PEACE OUT (2) gunned NAMAKA down to win her heat, her second success in three tries at this circuit and distance. Respect from the low draw.

The ace draw gives her every chance to continue her winning ways.

Ran well last start showing plenty of improvement following March 8 run. Just managed to hang on and win won by a nose (Fr5) at this track (2:02.40) beating Namaka in 3yo No NR F on March 24 at $17. This race will be harder than that win. Deserves respect from a low draw.

Racing in fine form. Won her last two outings at this track and Menangle. Last start posted a big 18 m win as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr3) at this track (2:) beating Personified in 3yo No NR F on March 24 at $1.35. Peaking at the right time and has strong claims.

Last start surrendered the lead and finished 2nd (Fr4) over 1730m after showing early pace at this track beaten 5 m by Soho Americano (2:02.20) in 3yo No NR F on March 24 at $15. Two runs back 10th (Fr4) over 1660m at Albion Park beaten 25 m by Cool And Classy (1:58.90) in 2yo G1 No NR F on August 17 at $8.50. Fitter for that hitout but others preferred.

Two back was well beaten into eighth behind Sao Paulo Simba at Menangle over 1609m in a NR up to 60 on March 11 at $4.20. Then a handy effort when a close second after showing early speed, behind Peace Out at this track over 1730m in a 3yo No NR F on March 24 at $2. Close to peaking so is a player.

Mixing form recently. Last start was was well back in the run when 2nd (Fr5) over 1730m at this track beaten 1.5 m by Auntie Lou (2:03.10) in 3yo No NR F on March 24 at $10. Before that beaten 12 metres, seventh at Menangle over 1609m No NR M on March 14. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.
