Bathurst Race 7 - Horse Queened Suds It Purple 2Yo Nsw Bred Pace
BIRDSONG (9) made a big impression on debut at this circuit and distance, drawing wide but pushing forward to score by 17 metres. Has won a trial since so should have come on. Will enjoy a pretty soft run from this draw, with the sprint lane in play. Could strike again. GUNNAREASON (5) is a filly by For A Reason on debut for Peter Rixon. Has recorded a win and a second in her last two trials at Menangle so expect a strong showing. MACHZINE MAHONEY (4) is another stepping out for the first time. By Be Happy Mach and hails from the Steve Turnbull stable. Looked above average in winning her latest trial here so anticipating a good start to her career. DEL LICIOUS (8) draws wide again but is open to improvement off a good effort on debut, finishing runner-up at this circuit and distance.

Two-year-old filly lining up for the second time. At debut was driven from back in the field when 7th (Fr8) over 1730m at this track beaten 70 m by Birdsong (2:04.40) in 2yo MAIDEN on February 11 at $81. Better draw but would need to lift.

Was on debut a big 17 m win after showing early speed, (Fr6) at this track (2:04.40) beating Bordentown in 2yo MAIDEN on February 11 at $4.40 at the bell was 2nd-4.17. Impressed on debut and can go on with it.
