Bathurst Race 4 - Bourkes Horse Rugs Pace
BETTER SHUSH (9) added to a string of top-four finishes when he came from this row last time and was out of position at the start. Missed by just a head here two back and should enjoy a nice trail. Big chance. REBOUNDER (10) draws on the back row but is racing well having placed in two of three starts since winning here, all of them in higher-graded races. Strong claims. HUNTER SHANNON (5) resumes but goes very well fresh with two wins from three attempts and looks ready to fire off two trial wins. CAMANCHI WARRIOR (1) has been coming from wider or second row barriers so can do better from the ace draw.

10-year-old gelding showed improvement last time. 3rd (Fr1) over 1730m at this track was 6th-8.34 at the bell, beaten 9 m by Studleigh Melise (2:02.40) in NR up to 62 on April 9 at $71. The race before was not as impressive when beaten by 4.5 m finishing fifth behind Meraki at this track over 1730m in a NR up to 57 on April 2 at $15. Unlikely to threaten.
