Bathurst Race 5 - Barkers Butchery Meat Raffle Pace
OUR GEORGE BOSTON (9) came from this barrier when runner-up here two back before returning to the winners' list last start at Menangle. Can travel in a nice spot from this draw and wait on the sprint lane if necessary. Has the ability to take care of this field. ALTA WILLIAM (10) has had two months off but was kept up to the mark with a solid city trial. Was consistent before the let-up with a string of top-four finishes to his name, beaten only 1.3m at Menangle two starts back before coming from a similar draw to this for second at his latest appearance in the Leeton Cup. MIKE ROSS NZ (6) will be improved by a first-up fifth at Menangle and loves this circuit, recording four wins and a placing from five visits. HUNTER SHANNON (4) is in the mix after adding to his consistent form with a last-start third at this circuit and distance.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing fourth after a quick start, behind Smooth Buzz at this track over 2260m in a NR up to 80 on February 18 at $6. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5.5 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Cassius Deck at this track over 1730m in a No NR on February 25 at $12. One of the chances.
