Bathurst Race 3 - Blueprint Signs Pace
RED BULL BERNIE (7) has the hoof on the till after finishing runner-up in both outings at this circuit and distance since some good efforts during the Gold Chalice series. Came from one spot wider and worked when beaten just over a metre last week. With better fortune he can atone. MAC THUNDER (5) was held up last time but not disgraced there and there was merit in the prior effort for second at Penrith. Race fit and this looks a suitable assignment. TIME TO DANCE NZ (10) may need some luck from the back row but was a solid fourth at his most recent appearance at Penrith and is proven at this circuit and distance. SATELLITE EXPRESS (3) kicked off his career with a win a week ago, coming from a wider barrier and getting home by a head at this circuit and distance. Rises in grade but draws well and has some upside.

Last start was well back in the run when 8th (Fr4) over 2260m after being wide early at this track, beaten 35 m by Furious Bart (2:47.00) in NR up to 47 on April 15 at $5.50. Two runs back was driven from back in the field when 7th (Fr4) over 1730m at this track, beaten 23 m by Hoppalongpog (2:04.20) in 2 WINs on December 17 at $16. Fitter and from the ace draw could play a greater role.

Last start 10th (Fr5) over 1730m at this track beaten 45 m by Bohemian Brawler (2:04.10) in NR up to 52 on April 15 at $12. Two runs back won by a neck as favourite when quickly away, (Fr3) at this track (2:07.10) beating Arma Blaze in 2yo MAIDEN on December 17 at $2.15 at the bell was leading 4.1m on the pegs. Capable of more than he has shown recently. Will strip a lot fitter and draws better so watch for improvement.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 1.1 m second behind Bohemian Brawler at this track over 1730m NR up to 52 last start. Before that was beaten a nose second again at this track in 3yo NR up to 58 on April 8. Going well and is a great chance to break through.
