Bathurst Race 6 - Barkers Butchery Meat Raffle Pace
STARLIGHT SASS (6) is a newcomer to the Nathan Turnbull yard from SA where she was last seen finishing fifth at Port Pirie. Readied with two trials here and won the latest so could make an immediate impact. HOOKED ON WINNING NZ (10) draws on the back row but is racing well at this circuit, beaten 1.1 metres into second last week after scoring at the previous appearance. Can play a major role again. FOLLOW THE ECLIPSE (8) was let down by manners last time and starts from the outside as a result but won here two starts back so is a player with manners and even luck. Last-start placegetter RIVERINA FLASH (1) rises in grade but draws to advantage so could be competitive again.

Two back was well beaten into fourth after showing early speed, behind Layla Shannon at this track over 1730m in a NR 38 to 42 on January 9 at $15. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing third behind Springfield Desire at Dubbo over 1720m in a NR 40 to 41 on January 16 at $3.30. The ace draw could see him there at the business end.

Recent efforts haven't been up to her best. Last start 5th (Sr3) over 1609m after racing wide at Port Pirie was 2nd-0.3m 2WNC at the bell, beaten 13 m by Bohemian Braids (1:55.90) in NR 41 to 45 on December 9 at $6.50. The run before 6th (Sr3) over 1800m at Globe Derby Park, at the bell was leading 2.7m 2WNC beaten 10 m by Peace Of Heaven (2:14.10) in NR up to 49 on November 29 at $10. Trialling strongly so can make an immediate impact for the new yard.
