Bathurst Race 5 - Happy 90Th Birthday Barry Mawhood Pace
The recent form of WHERES THE GOLD NZ (1) may not leap off the page but he has been tackling much stronger company, mostly at Menangle. The combination of a big class drop and the ace draw can see him back in the winners' list. MCLEAN (2) came from this barrier when only 2.3 metres away in a higher-graded race last start. Scored back-to-back wins at this circuit and distance last month. Contender. REBOUNDER (9) is quite reliable having put together a series of decent efforts. Draws for a trail so can run a big race. STUDLEIGH MELISE (3) won from wider than this here two back and was a solid fourth last start. Draws for a good showing.

Recent form below what he is capable of. Last start was well back in the run when 10th (Fr7) over 1609m at Menangle was 10th-18.94 at the bell, beaten 19 m by Nerano (1:52.10) in NR up to 95 on April 11 at $51. The run before broke in score up and was out of position at the start 10th (Sr1) over 2260m at this track, well beaten by Ripp (2:42.50) in No NR on March 28 at $19. Gets both a big class drop and the ace draw in his favour.

Last start 4th (Sr1) over 2260m at this track was 7th-13.53 at the bell, beaten 6 m by Betting Ranger (2:43.60) in NR up to 70 on April 15 at $10. Two runs back raced just off the speed and boxed on; won by a neck when quickly away, (Fr5) at this track (2:03.70) beating Carbaganoosh in NR up to 58 on April 8 at $3.40 at the bell was 2nd-1.96. Nicely drawn and can play a role from there.

Returns from the paddock. His previous first-up run was successful when he won by 3 m (Sr4) at Dubbo (2:06.10) beating Questro Queen in NR up to 60 on August 23 2024 at $7. Has only trialled once and might be short on fitness.

Two back was well beaten into fourth after being driven well back, behind Lochinvar Jag at this track over 1730m in a NR up to 68 on April 1 at $16. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing second behind Betting Ranger at this track over 2260m in a NR up to 70 on April 15 at $10. Player with even luck from the back row.
