Bathurst Race 5 - Moorhead Cranes The Friendly Crane People Pace
RIPP (10) has had tough barriers in his last two outings at Menangle but did manage a second there last month. Loves this circuit and distance, winning four of six attempts so looks nicely placed. I BREAK THE LINE (9) has not raced for five months but looks forward enough for the return after winning a city trial. Should enjoy a nice trail from this draw and has a decent record at this distance. BAXTER RED (5) comes right into contention after overcoming a wide barrier in scoring last start by 2 metres at Menangle. COOL NIGHT (6) is another with good city form having won two back before a last-start fourth at Listed level.

Before that 6th (Sr4) over 2138m at Albion Park beaten 8 m by Race For Riches (2:33.90) in 4yo+ on August 8 at $41. Has the task ahead.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing ninth after being driven well back, behind Auntie Lou at this track over 2260m on August 19 at $23. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Better Shush at this track over 1730m on August 26 at $7. Needs easier.

Last start 6th (Sr2) over 1730m at this track, at the bell was 4th-6 beaten 8 m by Divine Girl (2:04.00) on July 29 at $21. Two runs back was well back in the run when 3rd (Fr5) over 1730m at this track, at the bell was 10th-12.82 beaten 3.5 m by Mclean (2:04.20) on July 22 at $19. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

Seven-year-old gelding who has plenty of ability. Unlucky last start was well back in the run when 9th (Fr9) over 1609m at Menangle beaten 17 m by Wamboyneinamerica (1:50.90) on August 29 at $5.50. Can add to a fine record at this circuit and distance.
