Bathurst Race 3 - Palmers Painting And Contracting Pace
SUNSET JAY JAY (8) only missed by a neck at Menangle last start, giving her two wins and two minor placings from the past five starts. Both of those victories came at this circuit and distance. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw but with even luck she can take this out. DIVINE GIRL (10) is hard to knock off a string of wins and placings. Scored at this circuit and distance two runs back before leading and sticking on okay at her latest appearance. Draws on the back row but was runner-up from this barrier here last month. Big chance. THE ROGUE I AM (3) returns from a stint in Queensland where she put together three straight placings at Albion Park, beaten a neck into second at her most recent appearance. Draws well and could break through. RUNKLE (4) draws wider but could go on with it after delivering a last-start win by a neck at this venue.

Can play a role in the finish.

Two back was beaten by 8 m finishing fourth behind Runkle at this track over 2260m on July 1 at $6.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3.5 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind A True Love at this track over 2260m on July 8 at $16. Progressing well. One of the better chances.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished a narrow second behind Baby Your The One at Albion Park over 2138m 4yo+ last start. Before that was beaten a neck second again at Albion Park over 1660m in M on June 19. Close to a win and aided by a low draw.

Two back was well beaten into fifth behind Soho Washington at Penrith over 2125m on July 2 at $10. Then a handy effort when well beaten into second after being driven well back, behind Buzz Bomb at Penrith over 2125m on July 9 at $71. Can improve. With even luck is a chance.

Two back was well beaten into sixth behind Gem N Em at this track over 2260m on June 24 at $1.80. Then a handy effort when a close third after a quick start, behind Change Tact at Menangle over 1609m on July 4 at $7. Draws wide but has claims off the good city effort last time.
