Bathurst Race 2 - Poster Boy At Llowalong Farms Pace
BETTOR KEPPEL (3) has been coming from wider barriers in higher-graded events of late and hasn't been too far off them. Should enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position so gets his chance. A TRUE LOVE (4) produced a far better performance here at her latest appearance, finishing third in stronger company. Two-time winner at this longer distance. Major player. FIRESTORM RED (5) returns to the front line and has claims off a second from a wider barrier than this here two back. ART OF TERROR (6) hasn't been too far away of late, last time beaten 5m at Menangle. Can measure up here.

Last start 4th (Fr2) over 1730m at this track, at the bell was 3rd-2.95 beaten 11 m by Ideal Timing (2:03.00) on July 1 at $13. At the run before was driven from back in the field when 9th (Fr3) over 1730m at this track beaten 60 m by Buddy Brilliance (2:06.20) on June 17 at $14. A good draw could see him progress further.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 5th (Fr5) over 1730m at this track, at the bell was 4th-7.73 beaten 8 m by Mclean (2:03.20) on July 1 at $15. At the previous start 6th (Fr8) over 1730m after racing wide at this track was 4th-10.77 at the bell, beaten 17 m by Memphis Fury (2:03.60) on June 24 at $41. Draws well and drops in grade so gets his chance.

Two back was well beaten into eighth after being driven well back, behind Buddy Brilliance at this track over 1730m on June 17 at $101. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing third behind Mclean at this track over 1730m on July 1 at $151. Can be right in the thick of things.

Last start 7th (Sr2) over 1730m at this track was 6th-9 at the bell, beaten 14 m by Ideal Timing (2:03.00) on July 1 at $6.50. Before that, a game effort when 2nd (Fr7) over 1730m after showing early pace at this track was 2nd-4.18 at the bell, beaten 9 m by The Swift One (2:04.10) on June 24 at $13. Can play a far greater role this time.

Didn't do much at the last run, broke in score up and was out of position at the start 8th (Fr6) over 1730m at this track well beaten by Divine Girl (2:05.20) on June 24 at $34. Before that 9th (Fr8) over 1740m at Riverina Paceway was 3rd-6.5 at the bell, beaten 18 m by Rewatch (2:01.00) on April 24 at $34. Not keen.

Last start good run when 3rd (Fr6) over 1740m after showing early pace at Riverina Paceway was leading by 4 at the bell, beaten 4.5 m by Applauding (2:02.20) on June 26 at $11. Two runs back won by a nose as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr6) at Riverina Paceway (2:01.80) beating Little Sassy Boy in on June 16 at $1.95 at the bell was leading 4.7. Decent effort last start. Another good performance expected.
