Bathurst Race 8 - Rosedale Gifts 2yo Pace
CAPTAIN KOSTECKI (10) returns from a spell of five months but showed promise in a short maiden campaign. Last appeared when he scored by close to 22 metres at this circuit and distance and is likely to have matured further since. Readied with a trial win so expecting a bright start to the campaign. REASON TO BE HAPPY (1) has come from this barrier to finish runner-up in his last two outings at this circuit and distance. The hoof is on the till so could go one better. FLINCENT (2) draws well and should be ready to peak after coming from tougher barriers to place in both outings since a spell. IM THE MAJOR (9) draws for a trail and has been trialling well so should be ready to go first up.

Solid run when a close second after a quick start, behind Warrawee Way Back at this track over 1730m in a 2yo on August 19 at $4.33. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing second behind Warrawee Way Back at this track over 1730m in a 2yo on August 26 at $8.50. Winning prospects from the inside draw.
