Bathurst Race 1 - Illowalong Farms Pace
SEASIDER (1) has not raced for six-and-a-half months but looks forward enough for the return after a minor placings in two recent trials. Should enjoy an economical run from this draw and is likely to run a big race to kick off this campaign. ZARAS SPECIAL (2) was out of the money when well fancied first up but will be fitter for that and draws much lower. Showed ability at the maiden campaign so is worth another chance. SWEET NATE (8) showed talent with a first-up win at this venue but has been let down by manners since. Has had more than seven weeks off but was kept up to the mark with a trial. Draws out but is good enough if he behaves. FLASH AZARAT (9) draws for a trail and must be considered after he finished runner-up from a wide barrier here a week ago.

First up. At the last run he 4th (Fr3) over 1730m after showing early speed at this track, at the bell was leading 3.5m on the pegs beaten 3.5 m by Windy Hill Lucy (2:05.80) in 2yo 0-2 WINs on October 30 at $1.70. Draws the inside and looks set for a bright return.

Has been let down by manners of late. Last start broke when 7th (Fr5) over 1730m at this track, beaten 12 m by Fox Dan (2:00.50) in 3yo No NR CG on March 24 at $151. The run previous broke when 9th (Sr1) over 1730m at this track, beaten 25 m by Runkle (2:03.20) in 3yo NR up to 55 on March 12 at $6.50. Good enough with manners.
