Bathurst Race 8 - Downer Bathurst And Asphalt Plant Pace
TERRYRAMA (4) started from one spot wider than this when runner-up here last week, his second placing from his last three outings. Up to a distance where he is an eight-time winner. Primary contender. FESTINALENTE (5) recorded another strong performance last time when she battled on bravely to finish third. That made it back-to-back placings here, both from the outside barrier. Her hoof is on the till and she'll enjoy a lower draw. SWEET SWEET TOOTH (2) raced parked and boxed on okay in her last-start fifth and only missed by a neck here prior. Draws to enjoy the favours. ZACHARY SHANNON (3) broke last start but led and went close here prior. Can push forward from this draw so is worth another chance.

Didn't do much last time out, 8th (Sr4) over 2160m at Cowra, beaten 50 m by Champagne Walsh (2:39.80) on September 13 at $51. Before that 10th (Sr1) over 1720m at Penrith, beaten 30 m by Smokescreen (2:06.60) on September 3 at $23. Not going well enough.

Draws to make an impact.

Last start 5th (Fr6) over 2160m after showing early pace at Cowra, beaten 30 m by Champagne Walsh (2:39.80) on September 13 at $26. At the run before solid effort when 2nd (Fr4) over 1730m after showing early speed at this track, beaten a head by Johnnys Blue (2:06.30) on August 28 at $4.60. Can be competitive from a good draw.

Two back was well beaten into eighth behind Makes You Wonder at this track over 1730m on August 26 at $3. Then a handy effort when well beaten into second after being driven well back, behind Classic Beesmack at this track over 1730m on September 16 at $5.50. Leading contender.

Last start was well beaten into third after being driven well back, behind Classic Beesmack at this track over 1730m on September 16 at $3.50. Raced better the start before that with a game effort despite getting well back, when 3rd (Fr8) over 1730m at this track was 8th-14.29 at the bell, beaten 4 m by Champagne Walsh (2:07.20) on September 9 at $11. Going along well. Among the top chances.

At his previous start was driven from back in the field when 9th (Fr6) over 1720m at Penrith, beaten 50 m by Charlies Ace (2:04.30) on September 3 at $71. Capable of more than he has shown recently.
