Bathurst Race 4

Reliance Bank Pace

Stake: $10,673

RACING TIME (4) copped a few checks so did well last start when he came from the back row to place in a higher-graded race at Temora. Two-time winner here and has strong claims from this barrier. SMOOTH BUZZ (7) has not raced for seven months but looks forward enough for the return after winning a recent trial. Must overcome a wide draw but is likely to run a big race to kick off this campaign. ALLSTARZZZ FRANKIE (3) broke when resuming but will be fitter and has the benefit of a better draw so can improve. MIGHTY JOE (2) showed pleasing improvement last time out when third from this draw. Go well.

Comes here second-up after three weeks. Lacklustre first-up performance when 9th (Fr1) over 1660m at Parkes, beaten 21 m by Watchmedazzle (2:00.60) in NR up to 80 on June 12 at $31. Unlikely to finish in the winner's circle.

Two back was well beaten into sixth behind Turbo Tommy at Bankstown over 2140m in a NR up to 75 on June 10 at $16. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5.5 m finishing third behind Captain Tom at Temora over 2386m in a NR up to 80 on June 23 at $5. Looks the testing material.

Last start was restrained when 5th (Fr8) over 1740m at Riverina Paceway beaten 10 m by Im Rockin It (2:04.00) in NR up to 63 on June 28 at $6. At his previous start was restrained when 8th (Fr10) over 1609m at Menangle beaten 12 m by Amore Infida (1:54.20) in NR up to 80 on June 22 at $51. Can be about the money.
