Bathurst Race 3 - Nutrien Equine Nsw Breeders Challenge 3yo Colts And Geldings Heat - Round 1
ENJABONARLO (4) put the writing on the wall in his second-up appearance at Menangle last time, drawing wide but working to the front and sticking on well as runner-up, beaten 1.4 metres. Beat a NSW Derby placegetter when he won in the city last campaign. Goes well third-up with two wins and a placing from three attempts so should be nearing his peak and draws well. BEROCCA BERNIE (8) led and stuck on when resuming at this circuit and distance, beaten 2 metres. Draws wider but should be improved. SMOOTH BUCKAROO (2) put together a string of wins or placings at this circuit and distance last campaign, all from back row draws. Has won fresh before and is well served by this barrier. COWBOY CULTURE (7) has been freshened since he was runner-up at Menangle last month but has been kept up to the mark with a trial and won the last time he raced here.

Two back was well beaten into eighth after showing early speed, behind Le Cardinal at Kilmore over 2180m in a 3yo on August 27 at $4.60. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.4 m finishing second behind Fasting at Menangle over 1609m on September 15 at $3. Progressing well. Race fit now and is nicely placed.
