Bathurst Race 4 - Nijinsky At Yirribee Stud Farm Pace
SHAZADELE (9) had put together a string of strong performances then maintained the momentum last start when she finished second over 1730m at this track, beaten 2.5 metres. Can settle just behind them and wait on the sprint lane. Won't find this any harder and she can go right on with the job. SMOOTH CHAKRA (1) ran seventh last start at this track over 2260m, beaten 15 metres. Expecting a very good run. PRINCESS BALLERINA (10) scored last start over 1730m at this track. Generally runs very well at this circuit so can play a big role again. POPS LEGACY (2) never fired here last start when finishing seventh of 10 but should not have any excuses from the favourable draw.

Recent efforts haven't been up to her best. Last start was well back in the run when 7th (Fr4) over 2260m at this track, at the bell was 8th-13.06 beaten 15 m by Gem N Em (2:46.10) on June 24 at $23. The start before surrendered the lead and finished 6th (Fr1) over 1730m after showing early pace at this track, at the bell was 2nd-3.82 beaten 2.75 m by Studleigh Titanium (2:06.70) on June 3 at $6.50. Can improve sharply without surprising.

Last start 10th (Fr5) over 2260m after racing wide at this track, beaten 55 m by Clear Left (2:47.60) on July 29 at $7.50.

Two back was well beaten into sixth after being driven well back, behind Pas De Cheval at this track over 2260m on July 22 at $10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.5 m finishing second behind Princess Ballerina at this track over 1730m on July 29 at $2.50. One of the key runners.

Last start won by 2.5 m after showing early speed, (Fr4) at this track (2:04.60) beating Shazadele in on July 29 at $6 at the bell was leading 1.8. In form and sure to prove very hard to beat.
