Bathurst Race 2 - Jett Turnbull - Bathurst Driver Of The Year Maiden Pace
BOPPER (3) is a three-year-old colt from the Aaron Williams yard on debut. Should enjoy an economical run from this draw and was only beaten 1.4m into second in his latest trial here. Could kick off with a win. BOOMER SHANNON (8) is a long-time maiden but is racing well and added to his recent string of top-four performances last time out when runner-up at this circuit and distance, beaten 2 metres. Must overcome a very wide draw but his recent form is good enough to take this with even luck. ROCKAMARA (9) is looming as a threat having won a trial since a better effort last start, finishing second at Parkes. STUDLEIGH FURY (7) draws wide but could progress further third up after finishing fourth at Menangle last time out.

Two back was well beaten into tenth behind Satellite Art at this track over 1730m in a MAIDEN on February 25 at $71. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing third behind Gee Young at Parkes over 1660m in a MAIDEN on March 6 at $7.50. Draws for a good showing.

Good performance when beaten by 4.5 m finishing fourth behind Babling Babling at this track over 1730m in a MAIDEN on March 4 at $10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Furious Bart at this track over 1730m in a MAIDEN on March 11 at $2.90. Draws wide but looks close to win.
