We have the best bets picked from across the meeting with a Best Bet and other value selections for Bathurst racetrack.
Race 2: No.2 Ballet Noir
The O’Shea & Charlton-trained galloper has her second start today and looks well placed to figure in the finish of this event.
Last start, the New Zealand-bred filly made her racing debut and considering the circumstances, did well to beat all but one home in a Maiden Hcp over 1250m at Newcastle.
Keagan Latham settled her mid-field where she overraced and was caught wide to the turn, then straightening as the widest runner, she kept chasing and found enough left to grab second prize, beaten just over a length on the line.
Anna Roper is the new pilot for this assignment where the filly maps to settle back in the field from barrier eight.
Fitter for that debut run and dropping back from Provincial company to country racing, the three-year-old looks in the mix for victory in this contest.
Race 5: No.3 Forbidden Riff
The Team Freedman-trained galloper has found some form of late and coming off metropolitan racing, looks well placed here to record his first win for this campaign.
Last start, the Casino Prince gelding found the podium again when he beat all but one to the line in a BM72 over 2200m at Warwick Farm.
With Kerrin McEvoy in the saddle, he settled back in the field to the turn before leaving the fence and tracking wide, then in the run home, chased the race-favourite (Appeared) all the way to the line, beaten a long neck in the end.
That city minor placing is good form coming into this event where he draws well in gate three and maps to settle mid-field near the fence with Shaun Guymer to steer the ship today.
Yet to grab the cash this preparation, the six-year-old gets his chance here and is a genuine winning chance in this contest.
Race 6: No.6 Crusader Kings
The Mark Jones-trained galloper has returned on top of the pile and ticks enough boxes here to suggest he will be the one to beat in this event.
Last start, the Dissident gelding resumed after six months off the scene and did it in style by taking out a BM82 Hcp over 1200m at Dubbo.
Carrying top weight (59kgs), Aaron Bullock settled him near mid-field but was trapped three-deep to the turn where he came off heels and finishing down the centre of the track, had enough left to grab the lead and hang on to score in a tight finish.
He jumps from barrier eight in the big field here and maps to settle near mid-field with Kody Nestor back for his fourth ride on the gelding.
Already boasting success at the track and a winner when second-up, the six-year-old looks a real threat in this contest.
