Bathurst Race 3 - Cordina Racing Bathurst Mayors Cup
RIPP (10) backs up after an easy win here on Wednesday, coming from this row and racing parked before scoring by more than 11m. That took his record at this venue to five from nine and he had good city form prior. Can go back to back. GLITTER AINT GOLD (8) draws out but started from the outside barrier when he resumed with a fourth at Menangle, beaten 4.5m. That was four weeks ago but he was kept up to the mark with a trial placing and has won all three attempts at this circuit and distance. WHERES THE GOLD NZ (9) has been racing at Menangle where his best recent result was a second last month. Draws for a trail and has won at this circuit and distance before. SHADES OF MIKI (5) has been solid in two city outings since a fresh win at Wagga. Worth including.

Backs up three days after she didn't show much 6th (Fr2) over 2260m at this track beaten 22 m by Ripp (2:41.60) in No NR on March 25 at $101. Before that was well back in the run when 7th (Fr6) over 1730m at this track beaten 14 m by Grayson Red (2:02.70) in NR up to 65 on March 11 at $34. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

Finished up last campaign with a win at Albion Park, but hasn't been as effective this campaign with a first-up effort 10th (Sr3) over 2030m at Newcastle, beaten 45 m by Itzmineontheline (2:25.20) in NR up to 80 on March 13 at $6. Then last start was driven from back in the field when 8th (Fr8) over 1730m after racing wide at this track beaten 30 m by Soho Charmer (2:02.40) in 3yo No NR CG on March 23 at $61. Hard to have on those efforts.

Last start 4th (Sr4) over 1720m at Penrith, at the bell was 7th-14.27 beaten 14 m by Red Sapphire (2:00.50) in NR up to 90 on March 12 at $8. Two runs back won by a nose (Sr4) at Penrith (2:01.60) beating Smokescreen in NR up to 67 on March 5 at $9 at the bell was 6th-13.02. Might find this a bit tough.
