Bathurst Race 2 - Nutrien Bathurst Graduate Heats 19th August Pace
BETTING RANGER (9) ran fifth last start at this track over 1730m, beaten 7 metres. Will enjoy a pretty soft run from this draw, with the sprint lane to play a big role. Has the class to take this out. BETTER SHUSH (3) ran sixth last start at this track over 1730m, beaten 9 metres. Expect him to be prominent. THE SWIFT ONE (6) is looming as a real threat after a better effort last start, finishing second at this track over 1730m. BETTOR KEPPEL (10) cannot be left out after solid recent performances, the latest a sound fifth at this track over 1730m. Include in exotic bets.

Before that 6th (Fr2) over 2260m at this track was 9th-14.37 at the bell, beaten 9 m by A True Love (2:45.10) on July 8 at $12. Cannot enthuse on what we have seen of late.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start 6th (Fr1) over 1730m after showing early pace at this track, at the bell was 6th-7.95 beaten 9 m by Smooth Buzz (2:04.10) on July 15 at $7.50. The run previous was driven from back in the field when 8th (Fr7) over 1730m at this track was 9th-15.96 at the bell, beaten 16 m by Mclean (2:02.50) on July 8 at $23. This looks a nice assignment so watch for a better run.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing fourth after being driven well back, behind Ideal Timing at this track over 1730m on July 22 at $6.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3.5 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Divine Girl at this track over 1730m on July 29 at $7.50. One of the primary contenders.
