Bathurst Race 1 - Moorehead Cranes The Friendly Crane Company Pace
ARTISTIC SCOTT (4) has had tough barriers in stronger races in the last two outings so prepared to overlook those results. Better drawn and had won twice in a row prior, one of them here. ZEN MASTER (5) is fitter for recent racing and did a good job when fourth from the back row at his most recent appearance at Penrith. That form should measure up here. TIME TO DANCE NZ (2) is in good form with top-four finishes at his last five starts, most recently coming from wider to be beaten neck into second at Newcastle. Likely to get the favours from this nice draw so could break through. LAYLA SHANNON (1) did some work when midfield last time but had produced some good efforts prior including a second two back and a win at this circuit and distance last month. Drawn to advantage.

Solid run when beaten by 1.1 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Mac Thunder at Penrith over 2125m in a NR up to 53 on April 30 at $1.75. Then a handy effort when a close second after a quick start, behind Lexus Lou at Newcastle over 1609m in a NR 51 to 54 on May 11 at $6. Has a low draw and should go well again.

Showed ability the run before when he came from midfield and won by 3 m (Fr8) at this track (2:07.10) beating Always Lightning in NR up to 52 on May 6 at $34 at the bell was 4th-4.77.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 5 m sixth behind Mac Thunder at this track over 2260m NR up to 58 last start. Before that was beaten 1.2 metres second again at this track over 1730m in NR up to 62 on May 6. May be worth another chance.

Resumes. Finished off last campaign when well beaten into eighth after being driven well back, behind Alwaysbminnie at this track over 2260m in a NR up to 70 on January 21 at $10. Previous preparation first-up posted a big 9 m win (Sr3) at Dubbo (2:06.40) beating Puppeteer in NR 38 to 41 on June 27 at $4.20. Draws wide but is proven fresh and has a good record at this circuit and distance so keep safe.
