Bathurst Race 8 - Town And Country Rural Supplies Pace
FOX TROT (1) will find this easier than the last attempt at Menangle and had a series of wider or second row barriers prior. Gets the ace draw this time and should enjoy an economical run from there so can produce his best. TALK TO LEXY (10) has not raced for seven months when she started a hot favourite but worked and faded. Looks forward enough for the return after two trials, recording a minor placing in the latest. Draws on the back row but is likely to have developed with maturity. NAVIE JO (5) locked wheels in what looked a decent line-up when resuming. Could progress off that. LUCKY LENNY (2) came from the back row for second when resuming. Fitter and aided by a good draw.

Comes here second-up after only five days break. Lacklustre first-up performance when was well back in the run when tired badly to finish 9th (Fr4) over 1730m at this track, beaten 80 m by Daniboy (2:04.80) in MAIDEN on January 30 at $61. Needs to do more. Hard to make a case in this field.

Last start was well back in the run when 7th (Fr4) over 1710m at Goulburn, beaten 35 m by Emperor (2:04.30) in MAIDEN on February 1 at $61. Two runs back was driven from back in the field when 9th (Fr4) over 1730m at this track, at the bell was 8th-15.4 beaten 17 m by Couldnt Catch Him (2:08.60) in MAIDEN on January 21 at $10.
