Bathurst Race 8 - Bowyer And Livermore Pace
BETTOR BRILLIANCE (2) has been racing well from wider barriers, winning at this circuit and distance two back before working but sticking on okay when midfield over a shorter trip last week. The better draw gives her the chance to return to the winners' list. ZACHARY SHANNON (3) didn't quite perform to market expectations last time but did have to work from a wider barrier so it may pay to be forgiving. Good effort for second at this venue the run before and should enjoy an economical run from this draw so is worth another chance. FESTINALENTE (4) is looming as a threat after a good effort last start, coming from a couple of spots wider for second. TULHURST TIMMY (7) deserves respect after working from this barrier last start but boxing on to place.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Fr7) over 1730m after racing wide at this track was 2nd-2.07 at the bell, beaten 16 m by Tactical Illusion (2:05.10) on October 14 at $8.50. Showed ability the run before when she won by 1.75 m when driven back in the field, (Fr6) held up early, at this track (2:47.00) beating Merrywood Rosie in M on October 9 at $15. Has a low draw and is a leading player.

Gave plenty of ground last start when well beaten into seventh after showing early speed, behind Studleigh Fury at this track over 1730m on October 9 at $5.50. Raced better the start before that with a game effort when 2nd (Fr4) over 1730m after showing early pace at this track, at the bell was leading 0.28 beaten 3.5 m by Babling Babling (2:04.50) on September 30 at $5.50. Expected to go well.

Before that broke in score up and was out of position at the start 9th (Fr2) over 1730m at this track, beaten 22 m by Im Here To Party (2:06.90) on September 30 at $4.80.
