Bathurst Race 7 - Hynash Group Gold Crown Final (Group 1)
Promising colt TAKE THE MIKI (3) made it two from two when he drew wider and did some work before proving too good in his heat at this circuit and distance last week. Had shown gate speed on debut prior so expect he will be able to take advantage of the good draw. That could see him tough to stop. MY ULTIMATE JED (5) has led from similar draws to this to win both starts to date, digging deep to get home narrowly in his heat last week. Expect him to push forward again and fight for it at the end. JACWILL KID (1) gets the ace draw again having come from there in both starts so far for a second at Melton on debut and a win in last week's heat when he led to score by 6m. On the up and could take catching. ELECTRICUTE (4) drew on the back row and worked so did well to go under by just a neck last week. Draws better and is progressive. GOCCIADORO (9) was just edged out last week after beating ELECTRICUTE for a winning debut. Draws for a trail and could be dangerous.

Last start a big 6 m win after showing early speed, (Fr1) at this track (2:02.40) beating Born To Entertain in 2yo No NR CG on March 20 at $5.50 at the bell was leading 3.2. Progressive and should get every chance from the inside draw.

Two back was beaten by 7 m finishing second behind Born To Entertain at this track over 1730m in a 2yo 2 WINs on March 11 at $3.30. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3.5 m finishing third behind Atomik Crunch at this track over 1730m in a 2yo No NR CG on March 20 at $18. Can be about the money again.

Comes here in the right form. Came from midfield and won by 1.75 m as favourite (Fr6) at this track (2:03.60) beating Themidnightexpress in 2yo No NR CG on March 20 at $1.55 at the bell was 3rd-4.2. Two runs back raced just off the speed and boxed on; won by 2.5 m as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr3) at Melton (2:03.60) beating Jacwill Kid in 2yo MAIDEN on March 6 at $2.20 at the bell was 3rd-4.73. The low draw could see him win again.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished a narrow second behind Revvin Reynard at this track over 1730m 2yo No NR CG last start. Before that was beaten 2.75 metres second at Riverina Paceway over 1740m in 2yo NR up to 55 on March 6. Draws better and that brings him into contention.
