Bathurst Race 7 - Horse Queened Suds It Purple Pace
THEYCALLMEBRUCE (7) worked forward to lead last time out and kept going to score in a good performance at this circuit and distance, getting home by 8 metres. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw but if things go his way may be tough to beat again. ULTIMATE COOKIE (3) added to her consistent form when runner-up here last time, beaten 3.5m. That was her fifth placing from her last six starts so she deserves another win and could achieve it with the aid of a good draw. IN LEXYS WORDS (9) is stepping out for the first time. By Poster Boy and hails from the Bernie Hewitt stable. Looks to have some ability based on a recent trial win and there is no harm in drawing here with the sprint lane to rely upon. BRIDGE ON FIRE (4) will be fitter and can progress off the fresh placing.

Didn't do much at the last run, was driven from back in the field when 9th (Fr7) over 1730m at this track, beaten 40 m by Bohemian Brawler (2:05.80) in NR up to 47 on January 14 at $101. Before that was well beaten after breaking at this track on December 17. Comes into this in ordinary form. Has the task ahead.

Didn't do much last start, 7th (Fr2) over 1720m at Dubbo beaten 35 m by Loyola Golf (2:05.40) in NR 37 to 39 on January 16 at $6.50.

Two back was well beaten into seventh after showing early speed, behind Mullum Axel at this track over 1730m in a NR up to 50 on January 14 at $16. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3.5 m finishing second behind Love Watch at this track over 2260m in a NR up to 45 on January 21 at $6. Has a low draw and could break through.

Having her second run back from a spell. Solid effort when 3rd (Fr2) over 1720m at Dubbo was 4th-8.4 at the bell, beaten 8 m by Mclean (2:04.90) in NR up to 50 on January 16 at $71. Fitter so could progress.

Last start won a big 8 m win as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr4) at this track (2:04.50) beating Bettingonya in NR up to 47 on January 30 at $1.90 at the bell was leading 0.83. Draws wider but is a chance go back-to-back.

Last start was well back in the run when 9th (Fr7) over 1730m at this track, beaten 25 m by Beancounter (2:04.00) in NR up to 52 on January 9 at $81. Two runs back was driven from back in the field when 3rd (Fr8) over 1730m at this track, beaten 2 m by Studleigh Sunrise (2:06.60) in 1 WIN on December 17 at $41. Needs to lift.
