Bathurst Race 2 - Hondo Grattan Sprint
MEGS BOY NZ (1) hasn't been too far away in two Albion Park starts since a spell. Won his lone third up attempt so should be peaking and owns a 50 per cent overall strike rate. Should get his chance from the ace draw. ANGUS FINN NZ (7) in a purple patch of form with wins at Penrith and Bankstown in the last two outings, taking his strike rate at this distance range to 50 per cent. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw but with even luck can land the hat trick. JORGE STREET (10) has been kept up to the mark with a trial since his last-start fifth at Menangle three-and-a-half weeks when only beaten 4.4m. He is on the radar. REBOUNDER (4) can feature again after coming from this barrier and finishing runner-up here last start.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 5 m fifth behind Arkin Wicked at Albion Park over 2138m 3yo+ NR up to 70 last start. Before that was beaten 3.5 metres third again at Albion Park in NR up to 70 on February 21. Race fit now and should get every chance from this draw.

Didn't do much at the last run, 9th (Fr2) over 2400m at Blayney, beaten 24 m by Shez Sweet Louise (3:01.00) in NR up to 90 on February 15 at $61. Before that was well back in the run when 10th (Fr8) over 1730m at this track beaten 35 m by Mr Teddy (2:03.20) in NR up to 70 on February 4 at $101. Hard to have on those efforts.

Good run when beaten by 5.5 m finishing fourth after being driven well back, behind Alta William at this track over 1730m in a NR up to 90 on March 4 at $34. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3.5 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Miki Be Good at this track over 2260m in a NR up to 80 on March 11 at $26. One of the chances.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start was driven from back in the field when 5th (Fr7) over 1609m at Menangle, at the bell was 7th-18.61 beaten 4.5 m by Colossal Hope (1:51.60) in NR up to 80 on February 28 at $12.
