Bathurst Race 7 - Moorhead Cranes The Friendly Crane Company 2yo Pace
SPARTAN CHIMES (9) is a lightly-raced but progressive gelding who delivered at start number three, overcoming a wide barrier for a 2.4m win at this circuit and distance. Can travel in a nice spot from this draw and wait on the sprint lane if necessary. Could work through his grades now. COONEY CROSS (10) made the ideal start to his career when he raced parked before scoring by 3.6 metres at Young last week. Draws on the back row this time but has upside as does CAPTAIN VALIENTE (7) who draws wide but must be considered after he finished third to SPARTAN CHIMES as favourite two weeks ago. MAC TILLY (5) will be fitter for recent racing so could show her best.

Meets Cooney Cross again; when 22 metres ninth at Young over 1720m in a 2yo race on July 14. Unlikely to threaten.

Finding it hard to put a couple of good runs together. Last start was 2nd (Fr1) over 1730m at this track was 2nd-6.46 at the bell, beaten 18 m by Blissful Lover (2:06.00) in 2yo on July 15 at $51. Before that beaten 55 metres, tenth at this track over 1730m 2yo on June 17. Prefer others on this occasion.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Rogue Bandit at this track over 1730m in a 2yo on June 24 at $13. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third after being driven well back, after a quick start, behind Spartan Chimes at this track over 1730m in a 2yo on July 8 at $1.85. Rates highly. Working towards a win.

Won on debut tracked on the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 3.5 m as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr5) at Young (2:09.70) beating Your Shuffle in 2yo on July 14 at $3.10 at the bell was 2nd-2.1. Tricky draw to overcome but has plenty of upside.
