Bathurst Race 2 - King Of Swing At Cobbitty Pace
ALWAYS LIGHTNING (9) finished fourth in a higher-graded race last start at Dubbo after coming from this row for a good win at Blayney the outing prior. Can settle just behind them and wait on the sprint lane so could get the job done. LUCKY ZARA (4) hasn't been too far away of late and was good when she finished third last start, beaten 2.5 metres at this venue. Expect her to pose a serious challenge. MICTON MOUSE (10) produced a strong effort last time out when he drew deep and worked but stuck on for a 2.8m third at Wagga. ALTA DOWNS (2) wasn't too far from the placegetters last start and is in the mix from a low draw.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 7th (Fr3) over 1730m at this track beaten 30 m by Foxfire Easton (2:04.60) in NR up to 52 on February 18 at $34. Two runs back 4th (Sr1) over 1730m at this track, at the bell was 7th-8.6m on the pegs beaten 5.5 m by Chelseas Girl (2:05.40) in NR 47 to 50 on December 17 at $9.50. Likely improver.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Go Colour My World at Goulburn over 1710m in a NR up to 47 on February 1 at $8.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.75 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Sokys Falcon at Riverina Paceway over 1740m in a NR up to 47 on February 20 at $15. Can make an impact again.
