Bathurst Race 8 - Town And Country Rural Supplies Pace
TACTICAL ILLUSION (10) saluted when resuming in this grade two starts ago at this circuit and distance then led and boxed on for fourth in stronger company at her latest appearance. Tricky draw but will enjoy coming back to this class. TULHURST PEBBLES (9) is in good form having only once missed the top-two in her last six starts. Back in grade after she boxed on and finished second at her latest appearance at this circuit and distance. Can settle just behind them and wait on the sprint lane. Winning claims. MRS MAHONEY (2) draws well and looks close to a win after two successive placings, the latest a second at this venue. MAGIC MATTEO (4) must be considered after he came from this barrier and missed by just a neck as runner-up last week.

Brings the right form to the table. Came from midfield and won by 5 m (Fr5) at Canberra (2:14.50) beating Modern Sheen in on October 12 at $61 at the bell was 2nd-0.8. Two runs back 10th (Fr5) over 1730m at this track, beaten 25 m by Warrawee Cruzin (2:05.50) on November 26 at $151. Not as keen on her chances in this field.

Good run when beaten by 4.5 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Millwood Brooklyn at Parkes over 1660m on October 13 at $34. Then a handy effort when a close second after showing early speed, behind Calm Reason at this track over 2260m on October 21 at $5.50. Draws well and looks close to a win.
