Bathurst Race 2 - Bowyer And Livermore 2Yo Pace
STARBASE (2) has been tackling stronger company of late, leading from this barrier and sticking on okay last time to follow three successive placings at this circuit and distance. He is suited back in maiden grade. MCWEAPON (1) made an encouraging return when he came from a wide barrier for third at Newcastle. Fitter for that and should enjoy an economical run from the inside draw. Leading hope. MISTER MANFREDI (3) chased solidly enough for fourth at this circuit and distance at his first race start. Strips fitter and draws well so can improve. SPARTAN CHIMES (4) is at the track for the first time. By King Of Swing and hails from the John O'Shea stable. Was not far away from the handy filly Shes A Delaney in a recent trial here so keep safe.

Having his second run back from a spell. Good run despite getting well back, when 3rd (Fr7) over 1609m at Newcastle was 7th-16.92 at the bell, beaten 12 m by Candy Girl Marley (1:58.80) in 2yo on May 11 at $6.50. Fitter and well served by the ace draw.
