Bathurst Race 1 - Poster Boy At Llowalong Farms Pace
DUN SPRUIKIN (1) had been working towards a win and it arrived last week when he got home by 1.2m at this circuit and distance. Rises a little in grade but is likely to get the favours from another good draw so could get the job done again. BUTTER CUP (2) came from much wider when midfield behind a smart one last time and had come from the back row to place in her previous three outings here. She is much better served by this draw. CLEAR LEFT NZ (4) draws better than in his last two attempts in higher-graded races. Back from a five-week freshen but he is proven at this circuit and distance. DEEPWATER CAM (7) draws wide but has some good form under the belt, finishing second at Cowra last start and winning here three back.

Going well. Last start won by 1.2 m when quickly away, (Fr2) at this track (2:47.00) beating Shaun Shannon in on September 16 at $6. Drawn favourably and could strike again.

Last start was well beaten into sixth after being driven well back, behind The Queens Gambit at this track over 1730m on September 9 at $31. Performed better the start before with a good run when 3rd (Sr2) over 2260m at this track was 4th-2.74 at the bell, beaten 6 m by Deepwater Cam (2:45.10) on September 2 at $2.80. Closer draw this time so should get her chance.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 8th (Fr8) over 1730m at this track was 10th-16.53 at the bell, beaten 7 m by Hoppalongpog (2:05.60) on August 26 at $41. Two runs back 8th (Fr2) over 2040m at Parkes, beaten 30 m by Riviere (2:32.10) on August 21 at $3.10. Hard to have on those efforts.
