Bathurst Race 5 - Barkers Butchery Meat Tray Raffle On 3 September Pace
ROSE OF JULIANA (8) was responsible for a very good effort last time over 1720m at Young, finishing second and just a head from the winner. The driver has some work to do from this wide starting position but is good enough to win a race of this calibre. JOSEY MINT (7) finished third last start, beaten 4.5 metres at Dubbo over 1720m. Expected to run well. MIDNIGHT TERROR (4) is the next best after finishing third over 1660m at Parkes last time out. Top-three commodity. NEVERTOOLATE (1) is worth some thought despite his last-start seventh over 1720m at Dubbo on August 22. Can improve sharply from the coveted pegs draw.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 7th (Fr5) over 1720m after showing early speed and racing wide at Dubbo beaten 7 m by Nikalong Mint (2:09.50) in NR up to 36 on August 22 at $9. At the run before 8th (Sr3) over 1720m at Dubbo beaten 22 m by The Accidental One (2:06.50) in NR up to 37 on August 8 at $9.50. Doesn't need to improve a great deal to take this out.

Two back was seventh after being driven well back, behind The Accidental One at Dubbo over 1720m in a NR up to 37 on August 8 at $61. Then a handy effort when third behind Jilliby Tsunami at Parkes over 1660m in a 0-1 WIN on August 15 at $26. Sure to be right there at the business end.
