Bathurst Race 3 - Hynash Group Gold Crown Heat One
MY ULTIMATE JED (4) showed good promise on debut when he led from one spot wider than this and went on to score by 7.4 metres at Newcastle. Should only be improved by that experience. Expect him to push forward again and prove hard to stop. SCAR STRUCK (10) made the perfect start to his career when he led and scored by 6 metres at Albion Park. A back row draw poses more of a challenge but he has upside. RISEABOVETHEREST (6) was down the track at Listed level two weeks ago at Menangle but had toughed out a Newcastle win on debut prior so could be worth another chance. Brad Hewitt's Bettors Delight debutant ROGUE BANDIT (1) placed in his latest trial and gets the ace draw so keep safe. BACKFROMTHEBRINK (8) cops a wide barrier but is open to improvement after finishing runner-up at Penrith at his first racetrack appearance.

Two-year-old colt by Bettors Delight out of Classy Beach on debut. Finished second at Goulburn in a trial on March 12 over 1710m. The ace draw can see a strong showing.

Well beaten last start by My Ultimate Jed, who he meets again; when 17 metres fifth at Newcastle over 1609m in a 2yo MAIDEN race on March 13. Not keen.

Failed to impress last start; 9th (Fr3) over 1609m at Menangle beaten 30 m by Don Hunter (1:54.20) in 2yo LR No NR on March 7 at $23. Showed ability the race before when he won by 6 m as favourite (Fr4) at Newcastle (1:57.50) beating No Good Reason in 2yo No NR on February 13 at $1.95 at the bell was 2nd-0.82. Rates highly. May be worth another chance.

Two-year-old gelding facing the starter for the second time. At debut good run when 2nd (Fr2) over 1720m at Penrith was 5th-8.07 at the bell, beaten 3 m by Bettor Elements (2:07.90) in MAIDEN on March 5 at $5. Tricky draw to overcome but has some upside.

Was on debut a big 6 m win as favourite when quickly away, (Fr2) at Albion Park (2:01.70) beating Parisian Hustler in 2yo MAIDEN on February 24 at $1.60. Has to contend with an awkward draw but looks to have some talent.
