Bathurst Race 9 - Nijinsky At Yirribee Pacing Stud Pace
STUDLEIGH SUNRISE (4) continued her consistent form when she led from this draw and stuck on for second at her latest appearance here, beaten 4.3 metres. The previous time she started this close to the pegs she was she was an easy winner at Parkes. Going well and can take care of this line-up. CHANCEUX (9) found form at the latest appearance when she led and scored by 7.3 metres at this venue. Shouldn't spend a penny from this draw and the sprint lane may come in handy. Could strike again. FAKISTRA (1) has the speed to take advantage of the ace draw so should get every chance. INDI AIR TONIGHT (2) draws better than last week and had been racing consistently prior.

Recent form below what he is capable of. Backing up quickly after 6th (Fr4) over 1700m after showing early pace at Cowra beaten 30 m by Runkle (2:01.60) in 4yo+ on September 20 at $3.60. The run before failed to finish when he ran at Cowra on September 13 over 1700m. Gets the ace draw so is capable of a better showing.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 7th (Fr5) over 2260m at this track beaten 16 m by Dun Spruikin (2:47.00) on September 16 at $13. At the run before 4th (Sr1) over 2040m at Parkes, at the bell was 4th-6.2 beaten 11 m by Riviere (2:32.10) on August 21 at $3. Nicely drawn and can bounce back.

Didn't do much at the last run, was well back in the run when 8th (Fr8) over 2260m at this track beaten 19 m by Absolute Weapon (2:48.50) in M on September 16 at $51. Before that was driven from back in the field when 10th (Fr7) over 2260m at this track, beaten 50 m by Chanceux (2:47.30) on September 9 at $71. Must improve sharply.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 4.5 m second behind Absolute Weapon at this track over 2260m M last start. Before that was beaten 2.75 metres fourth again at this track over 1730m same class on September 9. One of the primary contenders.
