Bathurst Race 2 - Thank You Breeders Voice Pace
PYEKAKARIKI (10) produced a strong effort last start when he led and battled on well but just missed out at Parkes over 1660m. Meets a similar line up and he can figure in the finish. ZOLTON (7) finished sixth last start over 1660m at Parkes but was very competitive, beaten only 3 metres. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. Meets a comparable field and he can turn things around. CELEBRITY CRUISE (2) can break her way into the winner's list after recording a sequence of three top-three finishes, the latest at Dubbo three weeks ago. IRK MCGLURK (9) is the best of the rest after finishing runner-up over 1660m at Parkes last time out.

Resumed after a 596-day break 10th (Fr2) over 1660m after showing early pace at Parkes, beaten 23 m by Gabbys Sportstar (2:06.80) on August 21 at $7. Will come on from that run and is a strong top-three hope.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 4.5 m third behind Mohawk Park at Dubbo over 1720m last start. Before that was beaten 1.2 metres second at Parkes over 1660m same class on July 31. Great chance this time.

Didn't do much last start, 7th (Fr3) over 1660m at Parkes, at the bell was 6th-7 beaten 18 m by Gabbys Sportstar (2:06.80) on August 21 at $12. Before that 4th (Fr3) over 1660m after showing early speed at Parkes was 7th-11.4 at the bell, beaten 12 m by Scarlet Bling (2:03.50) on August 14 at $11. Will need some luck to figure.

Didn't do much at the last run, 6th (Sr3) over 1660m at Parkes, at the bell was 9th-10.8 beaten 16 m by Gabbys Sportstar (2:06.80) on August 21 at $21. Before that 6th (Fr4) over 1660m after showing early speed and racing wide at Parkes, at the bell was 5th-7.4 beaten 17 m by Scarlet Bling (2:03.50) on August 14 at $8. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

Mixing form recently. Last start was 2nd (Fr1) over 2125m after showing early pace at Penrith beaten 7 m by Allornothinglevi (2:36.20) on August 20 at $34. Before that beaten 140 metres, ninth at Parkes over 1660m on August 14. This looks a far sterner test.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start 6th (Fr2) over 1660m after showing early speed at Parkes, at the bell was 3rd-3.6 beaten 3 m by Bodeletos (2:05.30) on August 21 at $3. At the previous start was well back in the run when 10th (Fr6) over 1660m at Parkes, at the bell was 10th-21.2 beaten 12 m by Altiano (2:05.30) on August 14 at $31. Worth another chance. Capable of a lot more.
