Bathurst Race 8 - Town And Country Rural Supplies 2Yo Pace
BORDENTOWN (4) was last seen in the Gold Crown series where he was only 4.6m away in the heats before breaking but recovering for fourth in the gold consolation. Kept ticking over with a Menangle trial win since and will enjoy the class drop. HIGHWAY HENRY (2) is a son of Huntsville on debut for the Mark Hewitt stable. Has been showing ability at the trials and is aided by a low draw. STARBASE (6) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when fourth at Dubbo. Runner-up in one of the Gold Crown consolations here prior. Go well. RAIL UP BERT (5) weakened out on debut but was in the market. Better suited dropping to maiden grade so may improve.

Last start 6th (Fr1) over 1730m after showing early pace at this track beaten 30 m by Tuapeka Gold (2:04.80) in 2yo 2 WINs on April 15 at $81. Two runs back was well back in the run when 7th (Fr7) over 1730m at this track beaten 21 m by Scar Struck (2:06.50) in 2yo 2 WINs on April 1 at $41. This looks far too tough.

Two-year-old colt by Huntsville out of Burning Stature on debut. Showed ability when he won at Young in a trial on April 13 over 1720m. Draws well so look for a strong showing.

Two-year-old colt by Sweet Lou out of Rinaaz on debut. Finished sixth at Bathurst in a trial on April 13 over 1730m. Will derive great benefit from this hitout.

Last start and went on to finish a respectable fourth over 1730m at this track last start. Before that, was driven from back in the field when 4th (Fr3) over 1730m after showing early speed and racing wide at this track, at the bell was 4th-4 beaten 4.5 m by Atomik Crunch (2:04.90) in 2yo No NR CG on March 20 at $13. Good through the Gold Crown series and has won a city trial since so looks well placed.

Two-year-old colt lining up for the second time. At debut surrendered the lead and finished 10th (Fr4) over 1730m after showing early pace at this track, beaten 70 m by Tuapeka Gold (2:04.80) in 2yo 2 WINs on April 15 at $9.50. Could be a big improver.

Two back was well beaten into seventh after being driven well back, behind Don Hunter at this track over 1730m in a 2yo No NR CG on March 28 at $41. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing second behind Outta The Ordinary at Dubbo over 1720m in a 2yo MAIDEN on April 10 at $2.90. Nice effort last time. May play a role.
