Bathurst Race 8 - Breed Your Mare At Artistic Lodge Pace
LAST FLITE (9) has been racing well of late. Added to a run of top-four results when second at her latest appearance at Newcastle, beaten 3.4 metres. Can settle just behind them and wait on the sprint lane. Primary contender. ALWAYS A SAM (7) has not raced for nine months and cops a wide draw but looks forward enough after winning a recent trial. Close second the last time he raced here two back. Looking for a good return. SWEET SWEET TOOTH (1) was a beaten favourite from this barrier at her most recent appearance at Dubbo but was only 2m off the winner. Can play a role. IM HERE TO PARTY (2) is worth including off a close second from a similar barrier here two back.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 2 m fourth behind Gifted Brigade at Dubbo over 1720m last start. Before that was beaten 4 metres fourth at Parkes over 1660m in M on June 21. Draws the pegs and can play a role.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 3.5 m second behind Sir Knight at Newcastle over 1609m last start. Before that was beaten 1.5 metres second at Redcliffe over 1780m same class on June 24. Draws for a trail and has strong claims.
