Bathurst Race 7 - Bulldog Hanover At Cobbitty Equine Farm 2yo Pace
CAPTAIN VALIENTE (11) was a good third two runs back then scored a comfortable win last start over 1730m at this track, getting home by 7 metres after taking an early lead. Draws out a little on the second line and may need luck at some point. Finds a tougher race but another win is on the cards. COONEY CROSS (8) scored at Young two runs ago before having her colours lowered when eighth at her latest appearance over 1730m at this track, beaten 35 metres. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw. Taking on a better field but she is up to the task. NANGARA TULHURST (10) last appeared when third over 1730m at this track four months ago. Keep an eye out for positive market movement. COMPLIMENTRY DRINK (2) found form and finished second two runs ago then came back to earth when she broke following a check and finished a long last over 1730m at this track. Has the benefit of a good draw this time. Can't make any mistakes against this field but she is right in the mix.

Last start was well beaten into tenth after a quick start, behind Captain Valiente at this track over 1730m in a 2yo on July 22 at $8. Performed better the start before with a solid effort when 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. Can make amends.

Well beaten last start by Captain Valiente, a rival who she faces again; was restrained, when 17 metres fifth at this track over 1730m in a 2yo race on July 22. This looks a far sterner task.

Last start was well beaten into eighth behind Captain Valiente at this track over 1730m in a 2yo on July 22 at $5. Performed better the start before where she tracked on the speed and boxed on steadily; posted a big 3.5 m win 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. Should be in the finish.
