Bathurst Race 1 - Stuart Valentine Pace
DANIBOY (2) came from much wider so did well to finish runner-up at Blayney last start. Led and cruised home by 2m in a maiden at this circuit and distance prior so can take advantage of the low draw. TISBURY ROCKS NZ (6) has been racing in the city of late and there was plenty to like about her latest appearance when runner-up at Menangle, beaten 1.5 metres. Strong claims. MCLEAN (5) led from one spot wider to win at this circuit and distance last month and has performed well from back row draws since. CARBAGANOOSH (4) was runner-up from this barrier back in January and has been solid from wider draws since.

Improved last start with a game effort despite getting well back, when 3rd (Fr6) over 1730m at this track beaten 4.5 m by Mullum Axel (2:06.20) in NR up to 50 on January 14 at $2.50. Should get her chance from this draw.
