Bathurst Race 1 - Yabby Dam Farms Own The Thrill Pace
SWEET DREAMS NZ (3) has come from wider barriers than this to win both starts at this circuit and distance since crossing the Tasman. Did some work before finding the front and digging deep to get home narrowly. A good draw can see her take another step. SHAZADELE (1) recorded another strong performance last week when she battled on bravely after racing parked to finish third. That made it back-to-back placings here, both from wider draws than this. Should get every chance from the inside barrier. MARYVILLE ALFIE (2) came from the back row to miss by just a neck as runner-up when resuming at this venue. Fitter for that and draws well. IBBIN NADIA (5) hasn't been too far off the placegetters of late, all in higher-graded races than this.

Solid run when beaten by 2.25 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Divine Girl at this track over 1730m on June 24 at $11. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Runkle at this track over 2260m on July 1 at $2.90. Draws the pegs so she gets her chance.

Having his second run back from a spell. Game effort when 2nd (Sr1) over 2260m at this track was 4th-6.36 at the bell, beaten a neck by Runkle (2:47.10) on July 1 at $23. Fitter and draws well so expected to run well again.

Comes here in the right form. Won by a nose as favourite (Fr6) at this track (2:05.10) beating Kenzie Shannon in M on July 1 at $1.25 at the bell was leading 3.18. Two runs back won by 8 m as favourite (Fr6) at this track (2:03.80) beating Duffy Hollow in on June 17 at $1.10 at the bell was leading 3.35. Draws well so can maintain her perfect record in Australia.

Failed to impress last start; was driven from back in the field when 5th (Fr8) over 2260m at this track, at the bell was 5th-8.93 beaten 8 m by Runkle (2:47.10) on July 1 at $13. Showed ability the outing before when he won by 1.1 m when driven back in the field, (Fr7) held up early, at Riverina Paceway (2:04.40) beating Im On No Sleep in on June 23 at $5.50 at the bell was 3rd-4.2. Can play a role in the finish.
