Bathurst Race 5 - Horse Queened From Mud-Caked To Majestic Pace
ALFNALMA (8) has had five weeks off since the last attempt at Menangle and placed twice in a row in the city prior. Has to contend with a wide draw but she loves this circuit and distance with three wins and a placing from four attempts so is nicely placed. NICELY SPOKEN (10) made it three wins from his last four starts when he scored by 2.7 metres at this circuit and distance last week. May need some luck from the back row but winning form is hard to knock. TAPAGANOOSH (3) came from the back row when he scored at this circuit and distance last month and has placed in both outings here since. Draws for another good showing. ALWAYSBMYPONY (11) rises in grade but has put two wins together at this venue, the latest from a similar barrier.

Didn't do much last time out, was well back in the run when 7th (Fr5) over 2260m at this track, at the bell was 6th-10.21 beaten 19 m by Alwaysbmypony (2:46.00) on June 3 at $101. Before that 10th (Sr2) over 2260m at this track, beaten 45 m by Alwaysbmypony (2:45.50) on May 27 at $126. Others make more appeal.

Failed to impress last start; was well back in the run when 8th (Fr6) over 1730m at this track was 8th-14.07 at the bell, beaten 12 m by Nicely Spoken (2:05.40) on June 3 at $10. Showed ability the outing before when he ran on from midfield and won by a head after showing early speed, (Fr1) at this track (2:05.00) beating Memphis Fury in on May 27 at $4.20 at the bell was 3rd-4.98. Gets the inside draw and could be there at the business end.

Two back was well beaten into third after a quick start, behind Chicago Bart at this track over 2260m on May 27 at $7. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.75 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Nicely Spoken at this track over 1730m on June 3 at $3.10. Draws for another good showing.

Six-year-old gelding is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at this track both over 2260m. Last start won by 3 m (Sr2) at this track (2:46.00) beating Art Of Terror in on June 3 at $3.60 at the bell was 5th-9.94. Must respect winning form.
Last Starts 6 days since last start
