Bathurst Race 1 - Nathan Turnbull - Bathurst Trainer Of The Year Pace
SPEARHEAD (8) has joined Mitch Turnbull since a good effort for third over 1609m at Newcastle. That was more than six weeks ago and he draws wide but has been kept up to the mark with two trials, winning the latest. ANDREW SWAGGER (2) has been good from this barrier in his last two outings, finishing fourth last time at Dubbo on the back of a Parkes placing. Capable of playing a major role. CAPTAIN LLANFAIR (3) has been thereabouts of late, placing in three of four starts this time in. Draws well and is race fit now so could break through. REVEILLE JET (10) continues a run of second row draws but can be competitive if things go his way.

Then a handy effort when beaten by 3.5 m finishing third behind Gunfightersghost at Newcastle over 1609m in a NR 37 to 39 on February 9 at $23. Draws wide but can measure up for the new yard.
