Bathurst Race 5 - Thank You For Your Service Chris Jones Pace
RIPP (10) drew very wide and worked forward before racing parked so was far from disgraced when midfield at his latest appearance at Menangle. Won twice in a row over further here prior but has won four of five attempts at this shorter distance. Take beating. LUX AETERNA (9) faded as a hot favourite in a Riverina Championships heat last start but she is much better than that. Won at Albion Park the outing before and her record at this circuit and distance stands at three from four. Quality mare who draws for a trail. Could produce her best. JORGE STREET (6) is going well having made it two wins in a row at this venue when coming from the second line in a last-start success by 2.4 metres. SMOOTH BUZZ (8) draws out but is racing well including a second to RIPP from this barrier last start and a win from the second line three back.

Didn't do much at the last run, was well back in the run when 8th (Fr3) over 2260m at this track beaten 20 m by Holy Camp Dillon (2:45.30) in NR up to 62 on April 1 at $4.60. Before that 6th (Fr1) over 2260m at this track beaten 22 m by Ripp (2:42.50) in No NR on March 28 at $51. Others make more appeal.

Two back was well beaten into sixth after a quick start, behind Jorge Street at this track over 1730m in a NR up to 90 on April 1 at $8.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Jorge Street at this track over 2260m in a NR up to 80 on April 8 at $4.60. Progressing well. Worth including.

Last start 10th (Fr3) over 2260m after showing early speed at this track, at the bell was 3rd-3.72 beaten 11 m by Jorge Street (2:44.00) in NR up to 80 on April 8 at $10.

Chasing a hat-trick. Last start came from midfield and won by 2.5 m as favourite (Sr2) at this track (2:44.00) beating Grayson Red in NR up to 80 on April 8 at $3.90 at the bell was 5th-8.82. Hard to leave out on current form. Must respect winning form.

Well beaten last start by Ripp, who he meets again; was restrained, when 17 metres fifth at this track over 2260m in a No NR race on March 25. Will find this tough.

Good run when beaten by 3.5 m finishing second behind Cassius Deck at this track over 1730m in a No NR on February 25 at $8. Then a handy effort when well beaten into second after showing early speed, behind Ripp at this track over 2260m in a No NR on March 25 at $15. Draws wide again but he is racing well.

Backs up 4 days after failing to impress last start; 6th (Fr9) over 1609m after showing early speed and racing wide at Menangle, beaten 11 m by Hi Manameisjeff (1:49.10) in No NR on April 11 at $21. Showed ability the race before when he won by 4.5 m as favourite (Sr2) at this track (2:42.50) beating Kanena Provlima in No NR on March 28 at $1.55 at the bell was leading 7.5. Can add to a terrific record at this circuit and distance.
