Bathurst Race 1 - Nutrien Bathurst Graduate Heats 19 August Pace
STUDLEIGH STARLITE (7) saluted for the second consecutive start last time out when she led and battled on well to score by 1.6 metres at Dubbo. Has to contend with a wider draw but with even luck could land the hat trick. DESIDERIO (6) produced a decent effort to come from the back row and finish fifth in a higher-graded race last start at Young. This suits. TULHURST ELVIS (10) came from this barrier when runner-up at Dubbo last time out, his second placing in three starts since back-to-back wins. Go well again. MAGIC TULHURST (5) must be respected after coming from the back row to spore by 4.5 metres at Young on Tuesday.

Didn't do much at the last run, broke in score up and was out of position at the start 10th (Fr8) over 2260m at this track, well beaten by Papa Joe (2:48.30) on May 29 at $101. Before that 10th (Fr5) over 1730m after showing early pace at this track, beaten 35 m by Studleigh Titanium (2:06.60) in NR up to 47 on May 20 at $81. Not keen.

Failed to impress last start; 7th (Sr1) over 2260m at this track was 8th-15.22 at the bell, beaten 16 m by Reveille Jet (2:47.80) on June 10 at $31. Showed ability the outing before when he ran on from midfield and won by 2 m (Fr2) at this track (2:08.20) beating Surfin At Midnight in on May 29 at $12 at the bell was 4th-5.2. Drawn to play a role.

Well beaten last start by Studleigh Starlite, a rival who he faces again; when 18 metres eighth at Dubbo over 1720m in a race on July 10. Facing a tough assignment this time around.

Recent form below what he is capable of. Backing up quickly after 5th (Sr2) over 1720m at Young was 4th-7.5 at the bell, beaten 14 m by Jilliby Saffron (2:06.70) on July 14 at $4.33. The start before was well back in the run when 7th (Fr6) over 1720m at Dubbo, at the bell was 6th-16.6 beaten 14 m by Rocket Me (2:05.80) on July 3 at $17. Has the ability to measure up to this field.

Six-year-old mare is racing in fine form. Won her last two outings at Dubbo both over 1720m. Last start won by 1.5 m as favourite when quickly away, (Fr3) at Dubbo (2:07.40) beating Tulhurst Elvis in on July 10 at $1.80 at the bell was leading 1. Winning hope again.

Two back was well beaten into ninth after being driven well back, behind Chansu at Parkes over 1660m on June 21 at $41. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing third behind Rocket Me at Dubbo over 1720m on July 3 at $34. Could be ready to peak.
