Bathurst Race 9 - Blueprint Signs Pace
The recent form of TIGERNATOR (4) may not leap off the page but he has been tackling higher-graded races at either Penrith or Menangle, last time coming from the back row. Has joined the Nathan Turnbull yard since then and looks well placed in this company. Stablemate CAPITALLEE (3) hasn't raced for nearly eight weeks but has been kept up to the mark by placing in a recent trial. Can make an impact from a good draw. THE HANDSOME ONE (8) draws wide and may need some luck but has done well to come from the back row and finish only 4m away in his last two starts in higher-graded races. CAPTAIN LLANFAIR (6) has had a month off since coming from this barrier for a respectable third when resuming last time. Go well.

Didn't do much last start, 8th (Fr1) over 1730m at this track beaten 40 m by Theycallmebruce (2:06.00) in NR up to 48 on February 4 at $71. Before that was well back in the run when 9th (Fr7) over 1730m at this track beaten 40 m by Bohemian Brawler (2:05.80) in NR up to 47 on January 14 at $101. This looks a far sterner task.

Last start 10th (Fr1) over 1730m at this track beaten 23 m by Absolute Weapon (2:07.10) in NR up to 48 on February 4 at $81. Before that, 5th (Sr3) over 1720m at Dubbo, beaten 35 m by Montana Nights (2:05.10) in NR up to 36 on January 16 at $21. Capable of more than she has shown recently. Do not dismiss.

Second-up here following a spell. Solid effort despite getting well back, when 3rd (Fr6) over 1730m at this track, at the bell was 6th-11.2 beaten 4.5 m by Phantom Star (2:05.90) in NR up to 37 on January 9 at $81. Fitter and is in the mix.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 4 m fifth behind Tulhurst Timmy at this track over 1730m NR up to 47 last start. Before that was beaten 4 metres second again at this track over 2260m in NR up to 45 on January 21. Draws wide but with even luck could be there at the business end.
