Bathurst Race 3 - Windy Hill Tara - Bathurst Horse Of The Year Pace
CENTREFIRE (4) hasn't performed to market expectations since recording back-to-back placings last month but has come from the back row in his last two outings. Should enjoy the return to the front line and placed in his lone attempt at this circuit and distance. RONZEL SONNY (10) had been racing consistently with a series of top-four finishes before he registered an effortless victory last time out, scoring by 13 metres at Junee. Draws on the back line this time but with even luck he can get the prize again. TEAM SPORT (9) has joined Nathan Turnbull since last seen at Redcliffe and has been readied with two trials so keep safe. PHANTOM STAR (8) draws much wider but is worth thought off a last-start win by 2 metres at Penrith.

Last start 6th (Fr3) over 1720m after being wide early at Dubbo was 4th-6.4 at the bell, beaten 9 m by Burrabadine Bullet (2:05.80) in NR 40 to 45 on March 15 at $21. Two runs back 8th (Fr2) over 1660m after showing early speed at Parkes, beaten 25 m by Jewel Mistress (2:03.10) in NR up to 50 M on March 6 at $26. Not keen on her chances in this line-up.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best.

Last start just off the speed and boxed on; won by 2 m (Fr2) at Penrith (2:03.20) beating Tiger Eupheme in NR up to 47 on March 20 at $12 at the bell was 2nd-3.91. Could overcome the awkward draw to score again.

Lacklustre performance first-up beaten 35 m ninth behind The Luvbug at Redcliffe over 1780m in a Up to 3 LTW on February 4. Solid at the trials so could measure up for the new yard.
