Bathurst Race 5

Bedwells Feedbarn Pace

Stake: $10,771

MIGHTY FLYING ART NZ (1) has been coming from wider barriers of late and there was merit in the latest effort when he worked forward to find the front before boxing on finish midfield. The ace draw gives him the chance to show his best form. BETTER SHUSH (8) draws wide but was good when fourth here last time and came from the second row for back-to-back wins earlier in his campaign. Player with even luck. REBOUNDER (5) should find this easier than the last attempt and has winning claims off a victory here three back. TAMANISHA TERROR (3) deserves respect after winning from a similar barrier last week.

Last start was well beaten into seventh behind Still Rollin at this track over 1730m in a NR up to 75 on March 26 at $21. Raced better the start before that with a game effort when 3rd (Sr1) over 2170m at Junee was 5th-8m on the pegs at the bell, beaten 5 m by Dashing (2:41.00) in NR up to 80 on January 25 at $15. Better placed than last start and deserves another chance.

Two back was well beaten into sixth after showing early speed, behind Novanta Rising at this track over 1730m in a NR up to 65 on March 12 at $15. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.75 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Cassius Deck at this track over 2260m in a No NR on March 26 at $26. Place hope again.
