Bathurst Race 3 - Nijinsky At Yirribee Pacing Stud Waratah Heat
HOPPALONGPOG (1) drew wider and came from a long way back for third at his most recent outing, beaten 1.1 metres at this circuit and distance. The previous two times he raced here he had this barrier and placed. Has winning claims. PAPA JOE (8) made it two wins in succession at his latest appearance, scoring by 4.2 metres to take his record at this venue to three from five. Has to contend with a wide draw but with even luck he is good enough to strike again. SUNSET JAY JAY (2) draws well and is worth plenty of thought after coming from wider for a last-start win by 1.8 metres at this circuit and distance. BETTOR KEPPEL (9) is in the mix following a respectable second from this barrier at his most recent appearance.

Improved last start with a game effort despite getting well back, when 3rd (Fr4) over 1730m at this track, at the bell was 7th-11.7 beaten 1.1 m by Shazadele (2:04.20) on October 14 at $5. Should get every chance from this draw.

Going well. Last start posted a big 11 m win as favourite (Sr2) at this track (2:06.30) beating Festinalente in on October 14 at $2.90 at the bell was 7th-13.29. Back in winning form and from a good draw can play a role again.

Last start posted a big 4 m win when quickly away, (Fr5) at this track (2:44.70) beating Butter Cup in on September 23 at $6 at the bell was leading 0.41. Draws wide but with even luck he can and the hat trick.
