Bathurst Race 5 - Bathurst Party And Events Hire Pace
PAPA JOE (6) was hampered by a flat tyre when resuming in the city but was good when second at his most recent outing at Penrith. Lightly-raced with upside and should be close to peak fitness now so can go one better. CUT THE RIBBONS (2) made an immediate impact on debut, scoring by more than 10 metres at this venue. Has the speed to take advantage of a good draw and has upside so she is capable of getting the job done again. ULTIMATE COOKIE (4) was held up when midfield from a back row draw last start. Had put together a string of placings prior. Go well. SONNY WRITER (3) draws well and must be respected after scoring by a neck from wider here last week.
