Bathurst Race 5 - Nutrien Equine Nsw Breeders Challenge 2yo Colts And Geldings Heat - Round 1
BORN TO ENTERTAIN (3) had a tough draw when last seen in a Nutrien heat and had some strong form prior including a Forbes win two back. Has not raced for four months but looks forward enough after a minor placing in a trial and should have no excuses from the low draw. TRI TIME (5) made a strong start to his career when he led and went on to score by 6 metres at this circuit and distance six weeks ago. Kept fresh and draws wider but he looks talented and has upside. IM EL ARQUERO (8) headed north for a win in the QBred Triad Final at Albion Park before leading from this barrier and sticking on for third behind a couple of smart ones last time. He can push forward again and give a big sight. WICKED MOTION (9) placed in both a heat and the final of the APG series at Menangle at his maiden campaign. May have developed with maturity and has been readied for his return with two nice trials.

Finished up last campaign with a win at this track, but hasn't been as effective this campaign with a first-up effort 6th (Sr2) over 1730m at this track, at the bell was 5th-9.74 beaten 3 m by Flincent (2:06.10) in 2yo on September 2 at $5. Then last time was driven from back in the field when 6th (Fr4) over 1730m after racing wide at this track, beaten 35 m by Oh Its On (2:02.60) in 2yo on September 9 at $41. This looks a tough test.
