Bathurst Race 3 - Thank You Hynash Group Gold Crown Sponsors Pace
OBADIAH DRAGON NZ (7) in in good form. Toughed out a win by a nose at Penrith last week and he came from this barrier to score at Newcastle three back. Big chance to strike again. FIRESTORM RED (3) performed well from tough barriers in the Regional Championships series, finishing midfield in his heat and second in last week's consolation. Down in grade and from a good draw could go one better. POPS LEGACY (4) didn't do a bad job when he came from this barrier for a resuming fourth at this circuit and distance last time out. Eases a little in grade and should be fitter. BUDDY BRILLIANCE (8) continues a run of tough draws but came from this barrier to score here in December. Could measure up with even luck.
