Bathurst Race 2 - Gold Crown Yearling Payments Due 29 August Pace
SPRINGFIELD DESIRE (5) finished sixth last start over 1720m at Dubbo, beaten 7 metres, after filling a minor placing at the previous appearance over 1660m at Parkes. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. JAY BEE (10) finished third last start, beaten 20 metres at Dubbo over 1720m. Expect her to be prominent. CRYSTAL BLING (6) is in the mix following a fifth at his first run back over 1720m at Dubbo. Strips fitter now. HILLVIEW SAM (8) was unplaced two starts ago then things went amiss last start when he broke and finished 35 metres away in eighth over 1720m at Young. Won't find this any harder and he can bounce back if he brings his Mitch Manners.

Last start 9th (Sr2) over 1720m at Dubbo beaten 35 m by Puppeteer (2:06.20) in NR 37 to 39 on August 22 at $17. At her previous start was well back in the run when 5th (Fr5) over 1660m at Parkes beaten 18 m by Mittys Three Aces (2:03.50) in NR up to 39 on August 15 at $13. Draws the pegs and can bounce back.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 9th (Fr4) over 1660m at Parkes, beaten 23 m by Riverina Flash (2:03.50) in NR 40 to 42 on August 15 at $31. Two runs back was well back in the run when 9th (Fr5) over 1720m at Dubbo, beaten 7 m by Burrabadine Bullet (2:07.90) in NR 38 to 41 on August 8 at $51. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

Didn't do much last start, 6th (Sr4) over 1720m after being wide early at Dubbo beaten 30 m by Puppeteer (2:06.20) in NR 37 to 39 on August 22 at $23. Before that 6th (Sr1) over 1720m at Dubbo beaten 4.5 m by Burrabadine Bullet (2:07.90) in NR 38 to 41 on August 8 at $12. This looks a far sterner test.

Last start 6th (Sr2) over 1720m at Dubbo beaten 7 m by Nikalong Mint (2:09.50) in NR up to 36 on August 22 at $5. Before that, a solid effort when 3rd (Sr1) over 1660m at Parkes, beaten 5.5 m by Mittys Three Aces (2:03.50) in NR up to 39 on August 15 at $7.50. Ready to make amends.

Resumed when beaten 5.5 m fifth behind Nikalong Mint at Dubbo over 1720m in a NR up to 36 on August 22. Will come on from that run and is a strong winning hope.

Last start broke in score up and was out of position at the start 8th (Fr3) over 1720m after showing early pace at Young beaten 35 m by The Ringmaster (2:06.00) in NR 37 to 39 on August 19 at $7.50. At the start before 5th (Fr4) over 1720m at Young beaten 19 m by Jilliby Saffron (2:06.20) in 2 WINs on August 5 at $17. One to consider as his best is good enough.

Two back was fourth after a quick start, behind Letsgo Matilda at Parkes over 1660m in a NR up to 47 M on August 15 at $14. Then a handy effort when third after a quick start, behind Puppeteer at Dubbo over 1720m in a NR 37 to 39 on August 22 at $9.50. Has the ability to take this out.
