Bathurst Race 5 - Success Stud - 58 Years Of Success Pace

BALTUSROL (1) has been taking on some decent opposition at Menangle so far this campaign, highlighted by a placing two back. Will be at peak fitness now and gets his chance from the inside draw. CHEEKY KISS (6) hasn't performed to market expectations in two starts off a lengthy spell but she is a capable mare with a good record. Player if she can find something like here best. HUNTER SHANNON (5) is a big chance following a run of three top-four finishes at this circuit and he steps up to a distance where his record is sound. DUN SPRUIKIN (3) has drawn to advantage and could be close to a win following back-to-back placings.

Solid performance when beaten by 2.5 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Double It Harry at Penrith over 2125m in a NR up to 63 on September 18 at $17. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3.5 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Raging Sea at this track over 1730m in a NR up to 65 on September 24 at $6.50. Among the chances.
