Bathurst Race 5 - Little Wych Premium Spelling 3yo Pace
SMOOTH BUCKAROO (10) is going well having recorded two wins and two minor placings from the past five starts. Was back in the winners' list last start when he settled back from this row but made up plenty of ground to salute by nearly 4 metres at this circuit and distance. Leading hope again if things go his way. COWBOY CULTURE (8) also drew on the second line and came from a long way back for third to SMOOTH BUCKAROO at his most recent outing. The driver has some work to do from this wide starting position but he is working towards a win. STUDLEIGH TITANIUM (11) didn't do a bad job when beaten just over 2m last time out. Put together a string of top-two finishes at this venue prior including a couple of wins from this row. Can continue the strong form. NOTHING FINER (7) draws wider than when third at Newcastle last time out but the effort had merit and he is proven at this circuit and distance.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Fr4) over 1730m after showing early pace at this track was 3rd-3.45 at the bell, beaten 2 m by Major Jewel (2:05.40) on June 10 at $3.80. Showed ability the outing before when he won by 1.1 m (Sr2) at this track (2:06.70) beating Dun Spruikin in on June 3 at $17 at the bell was 5th-9.42. Good enough to take this out with even luck.
