Bathurst Race 9 - Moorehead Cranes Pace
A TRUE BELIEVER (1) looks close to a win after a string of top-four finishes. Turned in a strong performance last start when she battled on bravely to just miss out by a head at this circuit. Should to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Leading hope. COME ON SHANNON (2) is another that brings consistent form to the table. Was fourth from the back row last start and recorded two close seconds prior, both from wider barriers than this. Gets her chance from a more favourable draw. LUCKY IN AMERICA (7) draws wider than in her most recent appearance here but there was merit in that effort when beaten only 1.6m into third. GIFTED BRIGADE NZ (4) will be fitter for recent racing so can show more returning to the front row.

Two back was beaten by 8 m finishing fourth behind Dear Darling at this track over 1730m in a MAIDEN on October 22 at $4.60. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Lunar Witch at this track over 1730m in a MAIDEN on October 29 at $16. Has a low draw and this could be her chance to break through.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 2.5 m fourth behind Lunar Witch at this track over 1730m MAIDEN last start. Before that was beaten a head second again at this track same class on October 22. Racing well and has strong claims from the good draw.

Two runs back was driven from back in the field when 9th (Fr4) over 1730m at this track, beaten 35 m by Esperanza (2:07.40) in 0-1 WIN on September 17 at $126.

Last start 8th (Sr2) over 1720m at Dubbo beaten 30 m by Gileon (2:08.50) in 3yo+ MAIDEN on October 17 at $4.60. Two runs back 8th (Fr2) over 1730m at this track, well beaten by Yottie (2:01.80) in 0-1 WIN on October 10 at $21. Fitter for recent racing so can show more returning to the front row.

Been racing consistently with 3 consecutive minor placings. Fair effort last start 3rd (Sr1) over 2120m at Dubbo, beaten 15 m by Bradness Brandrisi (2:40.00) in MAIDEN on October 31 at $10. Racing consistently so could be worth a spot in the exotics.

Two back was well beaten into sixth behind Yottie at this track over 1730m in a 0-1 WIN on October 10 at $126. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.5 m finishing third behind Lunar Witch at this track over 1730m in a MAIDEN on October 29 at $16. Draws wider but the latest effort had merit.

Resuming after a layoff of seven months. Well beaten at the end of his last preparation at this course when eighth at very long odds behind Precise. Recent trials will help bring him on but a lack of race-fitness might work against.
