Bathurst Race 9 - Hynash Group Civil Construction Specialists Pace
ALWAYS A SAM (8) was brave in his resuming effort, working when racing wide before sticking on to place at this circuit and distance. The driver has some work to do from another wide starting position but he should be improved second-up. TOMMY TIME (2) has been good from some tough barriers of late, winning three back at Parkes and finishing second in both outings since. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. TACTICAL ILLUSION (5) didn't do a bad job when she came from back row for fourth at Dubbo last time out. KIA ORA LOU NZ (7) draws wide but hasn't been too far off the placegetters of late.

Didn't do much last time out, surrendered the lead and finished 8th (Fr1) over 1730m after showing early pace at this track, beaten 30 m by Sweet Dreams (2:05.10) in M on July 1 at $41. Before that 6th (Fr1) over 1730m after showing early pace at this track was 7th-12.42 at the bell, beaten 8 m by Tennessee Kid (2:06.80) on June 24 at $14. Must improve sharply.

Good performance when beaten by 4 m finishing second behind Pleasant Heights at Dubbo over 1720m on July 3 at $5. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.5 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Marinna Monsoon at Young over 1720m on July 14 at $1.70. Drawn to advantage and expected to go well again.

Second-up here following a spell. Good run when 3rd (Fr7) over 1730m after being wide early at this track was 2nd-1.64 at the bell, beaten 13 m by Sweet Sweet Tooth (2:06.60) on July 8 at $1.85. Draws wide but will be fitter so could progress enough to win.

Returns from the paddock. At the latest first-up run was well back in the run when 3rd (Fr6) over 1730m at this track, beaten 30 m by Guaranteed End (2:03.30) in M on August 6 at $101. Will be better for this run and happy to watch this time.
