Bathurst Racing

Bathurst racing takes place on Friday, January 31, with a 7-race program set down for Bathurst racetrack.
  • Race 3: No.5  I’m Scarlet
  • Race 6: No.8  Plaza
  • Race 7: No.7  Maybe Maureen

We have the best bets picked from across the meeting with a Best Bet and other value selections for  Bathurst racetrack.

Race 3: No.5  I’m Scarlet


The Connie Greig-trained I’m Scarlet is in good touch this preparation and has strong claims for a tilt at victory in this event.

Last start, the Wandjina mare made it three podium finishes from her past four starts when she beat all but one home in a Class 3 Hcp over 1375m at Cowra.

Coming from back in the field, she arrived in time to claim the silver medal with Mikayla Weir in the saddle.

Nicely drawn here in gate three, she maps to settle better than mid-field with cover as Clay Gallagher returns for his second ride on the mare.

In good form of late, a clear run to the line here can see her in the mix at the business end of the race.


Race 6: No.8  Plaza


Goulburn trainer Tash Burleigh saddles-up Plaza here who has found her mojo and looks well placed here for back-to-back success today.

Last start, the Sooboog mare departed the Team Hawkes stable and had her first run for the Burleigh camp and made an instant impact when she took out a Class 1 Hcp over 1010m at Moruya.

Jess Taylor was aboard that day and despite being caught three-wide without cover most of the way, the four-year-old still had too many guns for rivals, winning by almost a length on the line.

She maps to settle better than mid-field from gate six and welcomes a new pilot with Nick Heywood taking the reins today.

With a trouble-free run, her first look at the Bathurst track can be a winning one. 


Race 7: No.7  Maybe Maureen


The Scott Collings-trained galloper is second-up today and going by her recent form, she looks a serious chance of victory in this event.

Last start, the Xtravagant mare was fresh off a six-month absence when she beat all but one to the line in a Class 1 over 1010m at Moruya.

Settling back in the field, Mathew Cahill worked her into the race as they straightened where she finished strongly to grab second prize, beaten less than a length by Plaza (the tip for race six today).

This BM58 looks a little easier today as Jean Van Overmeire takes the reins for this assignment and from gate six, maps to settle mid-field with cover.

Also seeing Bathurst for the first time, she will strip fitter for that first-up run and with an ounce of luck in the run home, she can give this contest a real shake.
