Bathurst Race 1 - Tab Venue Mode Pace
PUPPETEER (5) was struggling to make his mark before the latest appearance when he scored by 20 metres over 1720m at Dubbo. Meets a similar line up so he is capable of getting the job done again. NIKALONG MINT (1) looked good at the latest appearance when he scored by 2.5 metres over 1720m at Dubbo. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Include in calculations. MITTYS THREE ACES (9) should be at his peak for this. Finished third over 1720m at Young at the latest appearance a week-and-a-half ago. Sure to give the top fancies plenty to think about. JILLIBY TSUNAMI (4) must be respected after scoring last start by 1.3 metres at Parkes over 1660m. Top-three aspirations.
