Bathurst Race 1 - Stuart Valentine Pace
FOXFIRE EASTON NZ (5) has been racing at Menangle and producing some good efforts including a placing two back. He has only raced outside of Sydney four times since crossing from NZ for two wins and two placings, scoring over this distance the only time he raced here. He looks well placed. STARTIN TO GOGH (4) was in the market when resuming with a midfield finish last start at Menangle. Fitter for that and races well at this distance so could pose a serious challenge. Former SKYS LEGACY NZ (1) didn't do a bad job when fourth from a wide barrier at his local debut. Better served by the inside draw. BUDDY BRILLIANCE (7) has trialled nicely twice since breaking last start and came from a similar draw to this for second here two back.

Last start was well beaten after breaking at this track on March 25. Before that, a game effort despite getting well back, when 2nd (Fr8) over 2260m after racing wide at this track was 8th-20m 2WWC at the bell, beaten 1.4 m by Pops Legacy (2:43.90) in NR up to 63 on February 4 at $4.20. Has the ability to be in the finish.
