Bathurst Race 5 - Vale Brian Frisby
MESSAGE BANK (3) enjoyed a big drop in grade when winning by more than 6m at Goulburn last start. Has won four of five attempts here including last season's Gold Crown. Tries this longer distance for the first time but draws well. The one to beat. MAURLEN BOY (7) did a good job for second when resuming two back at Newcastle then broke at the latest appearance. Has to contend with a wide draw but races well third up. GO WITHOUT (1) won from a wider barrier the last time he raced at this venue two back and should get every chance from the inside draw. BOHEMIAN BRAWLER (9) draws for a trail and must be included after winning his past two starts here.

Failed to impress last start; 9th (Fr5) over 2470m at Forbes was 5th-9.6 at the bell, beaten 13 m by Mike Ross in NR up to 80 on April 26. Showed ability the outing before when he posted a big 6 m win as favourite when quickly away, (Fr4) at this track (2:03.40) beating Collect A Dime in NR up to 62 on April 15 at $3.10 at the bell was leading 3.92. Good prospects from the ace draw.

Last start tracked on the speed and boxed on steadily; posted a big 6 m win as favourite (Fr5) at Goulburn (2:01.50) beating Has The Courage in NR up to 60 on April 27 at $1.07 at the bell was 2nd-0.6. Has a great record here and a good draw should see him hard to stop.

Returns from the paddock. Previously first up failed to make any headway until the straight; raced back and made ground from the turn; won by 4.5 m when driven back in the field, (Fr7) held up early, at this track (2:46.60) beating Time To Torque in NR up to 52 on October 29 at $10. Worth keeping safe fresh.

Scored at his last two starts. Last start posted a big 5.5 m win as favourite (Fr1) at this track (2:04.30) beating Layla Shannon in NR up to 55 on April 22 at $1.75 at the bell was leading 3.2. Hard to leave out on current form. In form but this is a tougher task.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing second behind Go Without at this track over 1730m in a NR up to 62 on April 15 at $7. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third behind Nicely Spoken at this track over 1730m in a NR up to 63 on April 29 at $9.50. Might need easier.
