Bathurst Race 6 - Executive Suites On Howick Nswsoa Bonus 3yo Pace
SMOOTH BUCKAROO (10) added to a string of wins and placings at this venue when he returned to the winners' list last week, coming from this barrier and digging deep to score by a nose. Leading hope again. COWBOY CULTURE (8) was just a neck from SMOOTH BUCKAROO in third last week after beating that rival in recording back-to-back wins at this circuit and distance prior. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw but with even luck he is good enough to return to the winners' stall. INTERESTINME (3) is an interesting newcomer to the Nathan Turnbull yard from Victoria where he has recorded a win and two placings from his last three outings at Shepparton. Trialled well and draws to advantage so could measure up. PLEASANT HEIGHTS (6) was rewarded for his consistency with a last-start win from the back row at Dubbo. Worth including in exotics.

Returns from the paddock. At the latest first-up run then settled down to finish sixth over 1690m at Shepparton last time out. Recent trials will help bring him on but a lack of race-fitness might work against.

Solid run when beaten by 2.25 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Hello Possums at Shepparton over 1690m on June 2 at $6. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Andretti at Shepparton over 2190m on June 9 at $18. Draws well and could measure up for the new yard.

Failed to impress last start; broke in score up and was out of position at the start was well back in the run when 7th (Fr6) over 1730m at this track was 8th-11.11 at the bell, beaten 10 m by Smooth Buckaroo (2:06.10) in 3yo on July 8 at $16. Showed ability the race before when she won by 1.4 m (Sr2) at this track (2:06.70) beating Syds Joy in 3yo on June 24 at $4.20 at the bell was leading 0.96. First four hope.
