Bathurst Race 8 - Nutrien Standardbred Pace
GET DOWN NOW (1) lines up for the first time. By Downbytheseaside and hails from the Josh Turnbull stable. Showed some ability when a minor placegetter in a recent trial here. The ace draw is an aid to a first starter so anticipating a bright start to his career. ROWLEY MINT (8) has to contend with another very wide draw but he did a good job to come from this barrier and go under by just a neck when runner-up here two starts back. BADLANDS GENGHIS (2) raced parked and faded when resuming but should be fitter for that and draws lower so could improve. REASON TO KISS (7) is a four-year-old mare by McWicked on debut. May need a bit of luck negotiating a wide starting position but is worth monitoring in the betting.

Comes here second-up after five-and-a-half weeks. Lacklustre first-up performance when 9th (Fr8) over 1730m at this track, well beaten by Tennessee Kid (2:07.50) on April 22 at $101. Not keen on her chances in this field.

Last start broke in score up and was out of position at the start 9th (Fr2) over 1720m at Dubbo, beaten 21 m by Kirphilbri (2:07.20) on May 22 at $81. Two runs back 7th (Sr1) over 1720m at Dubbo, beaten 40 m by Xcalibur (2:08.10) on May 8 at $26. Hard to have on those efforts.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 6th (Fr7) over 1730m at this track beaten 8 m by Sonny Writer (2:08.80) in MAIDEN on May 20 at $10.

Draws wide but went close from this barrier two back.
