Bathurst Race 2 - Thank You For Your Service Graeme Mcalister Pace
RED BULL BERNIE (8) was beaten only a nose into second at this circuit and distance after racing parked last week. Tackled the Gold Chalice series prior, placing in the heats and finishing only 4m away in a consolation. The driver has some work to do from this wide starting position but he looks close to a win. LUCKY PUNT (6) overcame a back row draw to win two back at this circuit and distance and was once again right in the mix last time out when runner-up after racing parked from a similar barrier to this, beaten 3.4 metres. Likely to be a major force again. MEMPHIS FURY (7) draws wide but is hard to knock off back-to-back wins, one here and the other from the second line at Parkes. BETTER BE SWIFT (5) ended a short maiden campaign with a win at this circuit and distance four months ago. Readied with two trials and has upside. Market watch.

Two back was well beaten into ninth behind Riviere at this track over 1730m in a NR up to 52 on February 11 at $8.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing third behind Fliptop Bottleshop at this track over 1730m in a NR up to 53 on March 27 at $15. One of the chances from a good draw.

First up. At the last run he won by a neck as favourite when quickly away, (Fr3) at this track (2:07.10) beating Arma Blaze in 2yo MAIDEN on December 17 at $2.15 at the bell was leading 4.1m on the pegs. Has upside so could kick off this campaign with a strong run.

Five-year-old gelding is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at Parkes and this track. Last start won by a nose (Sr2) at Parkes (2:02.20) beating Roll To The Top in NR up to 52 on April 4 at $12. Must respect winning form.
