Bathurst Race 1 - Stuart Valentine Pace
MCLEAN (4) recorded back-to-back wins before he raced parked and stuck on okay for a midfield finish in a richer race here last start. Goes up in distance and if things go his way could return to the winners' list. ALWAYSBMYPONY (5) had a tough draw last start but had recorded a series of close-up efforts prior so can do better returning to the front row. BARLOR HEAVEN (6) has trialled strongly twice since last seen six weeks ago. Right in this. COULDNT CATCH HIM (1) led from a wider barrier to score a 4.2m maiden win when resuming here last start. Up in grade but may take advantage of the inside draw.

Last preparation only had 2 starts before going for a break. Returned to racing with a handy win a big 4 m win as favourite when quickly away, (Fr5) at this track (2:08.60) beating Babling Babling in MAIDEN on January 21 at $2.80 at the bell was leading 1. Has upside and the ace draw could see him measure up again.

Failed to impress last start; 10th (Fr3) over 1730m at this track beaten 23 m by Indasky (2:03.90) in NR up to 57 on January 30 at $41. Showed ability the outing before when she posted a big 18 m win as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr1) at Dubbo (2:07.40) beating Lucky Lenny in MAIDEN on January 16 at $1.18 at the bell was leading 3.6. Draws well and back in grade so may do better.
