Bathurst Race 9 - Town And Country Rural Supplies 3yo Pace
SMOOTH BUCKAROO (9) is racing well having only once missed the placings in his last six starts and that came against stronger company in a Nutrien heat. Has been racing well from this row, scoring from this barrier two runs back before racing wide without cover but fighting well to be beaten less than 2m last week. Draws for a nice trail so can atone. COWBOY CULTURE (10) has been a model of consistency of late and deserved his success here last start, working from a wide barrier before digging deep. Beat SMOOTH BUCKAROO home there and could overcome the back row draw to do it again. WIT WICKEE (7) ended last prep with a win at Parkes seven months ago. Draws wide but was readied with two nice trials so is capable of a forward showing while fresh. MONTRELL (4) did some work when finishing fourth first-up here last time out. Fitter and is lightly raced so has upside.

Didn't do much last start, was well back in the run when 8th (Fr5) over 1720m at Dubbo, beaten 22 m by Kirphilbri (2:07.70) on June 12 at $21. Before that 7th (Fr3) over 1720m after showing early speed at Dubbo, at the bell was 8th-11.1 beaten 10 m by Xcalibur (2:07.60) in 3yo on May 22 at $34. This looks too tough.

Returns after seven months in the paddock. Finished off last campaign recording a big 8 m win as favourite when quickly away, (Fr2) at Parkes (2:01.60) beating Stranger Effect in 2yo CG on November 28 at $1.18 at the bell was leading 4.6m on the pegs. Finds a nice race to launch the campaign.

In good form recently. Last start came from midfield and won by a head (Fr7) at this track (2:05.00) beating Studleigh Fury in 3yo on June 17 at $3 at the bell was 4th-6.23. With even luck can win again.
