Bathurst Race 5 - Nutrien Equine Standardbreds Pace
ROYAL CRUISER (9) will find this easier than recent attempts and was good in recording back-to-back wins at Menangle earlier in the campaign. Draws for a trail and looks nicely placed. BUSHY BEACH (3) led from this draw and faded out last time but the prior for was strong with back-to-back wins, scoring from a wider barrier two back at Menangle. Deserves another chance. HES CHIMING (10) had been producing some good efforts before delivering a win here last week. Go well again. SAINT EMILION (5) must be respected after scoring from a wider barrier at this circuit and distance last week.

Last start was well back in the run when 6th (Fr7) over 2260m at this track, at the bell was 8th-13.93 beaten 7 m by Hes Chiming (2:45.50) in NR up to 68 on May 7 at $61. Two runs back raced just off the speed and boxed on; won by a nose as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr1) at this track (2:05.80) beating Skittle Bomb in NR up to 90 on April 30 at $4.40 at the bell was 3rd-3.99. Might need easier.

Last start won to make any headway until the straight; raced back and made ground from the turn; won by 1.0 m when driven back in the field, (Fr8) held up early, at this track (2:04.00) beating Bettor Keppel in NR up to 90 on May 7 at $21 at the bell was 8th-12.56. Can play a role in the finish again.

Promising type show didn't do much at the end of his last preparation. Fair return to racing first up good run when 3rd (Sr1) over 1730m at this track was 5th-8.51 at the bell, beaten 2.5 m by Saint Emilion (2:04.00) in NR up to 90 on May 7 at $10. Can make his presence felt.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 8th (Fr3) over 2300m after showing early speed at Menangle was 6th-12.22 at the bell, beaten 19 m by Max Delight (2:41.80) in No NR on May 3 at $34. The start before 5th (Fr4) over 1609m after showing early speed at Menangle beaten 7 m by Terry (1:51.00) in No NR on April 26 at $17. This looks a more suitable assignment.
