Bathurst Race 10 - The Tab App Pace

SHES GOT A REASON (1) had been building to a win and it arrived last time out when she scored by 1.3 metres over 2260m at this track. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Meets a similar line up so she can add to the strong recent effort. RACING WRITER (3) scored last time out by 3 metres at Menangle over 1609m after an encouraging minor placing the start before. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw and his recent effort is good enough to put him right in the finish. SMOOTH CHAKRA (2) is close to a win after two successive placings, the latest a second over 1730m here. Great chance to break through.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Major Bye at this track over 2260m on August 5 at $26. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Riviere at this track over 1730m on August 12 at $12. Overdue and looks hard to beat again.

Last start 9th (Fr6) over 1730m after showing early speed and racing wide at this track beaten 22 m by Riviere (2:05.40) on August 12 at $4.60. At the run before was well back in the run when 7th (Fr8) over 1609m at Menangle was 9th-13.68 at the bell, beaten 12 m by Jewel Heaven (1:55.30) in 4yo+ on August 1 at $21. Certainly worth another chance.
