Bathurst Race 5 - Blinds By Design Pace
HES CHIMING (9) is close to a win after seconds in three of his last four starts here, last time coming from wider on this row to go under by just a head in the Smooth Satin Cup. Owns a decent record at this shorter distance and draws for a trail. Can break through. WINDY HILL TARA (4) raced wide from a tough barrier last time but was good when overcoming a deep draw to salute here two back. Can make an impact from this barrier. OUR GOAT (6) hasn't been too far away of late and can be competitive again while ROCKU (7) has yet to show his best this time in but owns a good record here and will be nearing peak fitness.

Backing up quickly since being well beaten this track over 1730m, 7 days ago and two back was well back in the run when 5th (Fr6) over 1730m at this track, at the bell was 5th-10.9m 2WWC beaten 14 m by Still Rollin (2:01.50) in NR up to 75 on March 26 at $41. Can do better from this draw.

Failed to impress last start; 9th (Sr3) over 1730m after racing wide at this track beaten 25 m by Heavenly Holly (2:02.90) in 4yo+ No NR M on March 29 at $2.50. Showed ability the race before when she won by 1.1 m (Fr8) at this track (2:03.10) beating Zenxena in 4yo+ NR up to 80 M on March 19 at $2.40 at the bell was leading 0.3m 2WNC. Rates highly. Great chance to bounce back.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 4.5 m fifth behind Cassius Deck at this track over 2260m No NR last start. Before that was beaten 1.3 metres second at Menangle over 1609m in 4-020yo+ 0W/20K Stakes on March 22. Should be in the finish again.

Solid run when beaten by 2.5 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Novanta Rising at this track over 1730m in a NR up to 65 on March 12 at $2.20. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Cassius Deck at this track over 2260m in a No NR on March 26 at $11. Ready to strike.
