Bathurst Race 7 - The Kings Hotel (Bm66)
ACHESON (3) tackled open company at Canberra last start and did a reasonable job to be beaten three lengths over 1200m. Strips fitter now and the extra 100m is in his favour. Draws a nice gate so there are a few positives to steer his way in a tricky race. GLOWING RAPIDS (6) led and gave a kick but was mowed down late and finished third in a BM58 over this distance at Dubbo last time out. Consistent gelding who gets a little weight relief today. Races well here so his credentials are sound. KEN'KER (8) dropped in grade to a BM50 at Tuncurry recently and absolutely bolted in, leading all the way in the 1400m contest. Can run another cheeky race on a nine-day back-up. THE ARTEFACT (10) was easily accounted for on a bog track at Orange last start. Down in class this time and a firmer surface will help. A BOY NAMED SOO (7) has defied the betting to win two from two this prep. Hard to knock in that sort of form.

At the latest run ran last of 10 at Dubbo Bm82 on February 15 over 1200m, 10 len behind Brutal Love with 55kg at $31. The run before that 6th of 10 at Gilgandra Gilg Cup Bm85 on January 4 over 1600m, 4 len behind Wealthy Investor with 55kg at $12. Not going well enough. Unlikely to feature.

Most recently 6th of 9 at Canberra Tab Federal on February 20 over 1200m, 3 len behind My Last Hooray carrying 53kg at $15. The start before that 8th of 11 at Sapphire Coast Bm66 on January 31 over 1400m, slow going 7 len behind Oneforian with 58.5kg at $14. Rock hard fit and from a nice gate is likely to feature.

Form hard to fault. Most recently set the pace for much of the race 3rd of 14 at Dubbo Ctry Bm58 on February 15 over 1300m, 1.4 len behind Stockholm with 60kg at $8. The race before that held ground to the line 3rd of 12 at Dubbo Bm58 on February 2 over 1300m, 1.0 len behind Black Nature with 60kg at $4.60. Genuine gelding who is a major player.

Third-up today. First-up came from midfield and won by 1.75 len at Dubbo Ctry Bm58 February 2 over 1200m defeating Lang Park carrying 56kg at $19. Second-up was well back until straightening; raced back then made ground from the turn; won by a neck at Mudgee Bm66 February 21 over 1400m on a rain affected track defeating The Manager carrying 55kg at $17. Continues to surprise and it would be brave to rule him out.

Most recently favourite; scored a big 4.5 len win at Tuncurry Bm50 February 21 over 1400m defeating Calamity Fox with 59.5kg at $3.60. The race before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 9 at Goulburn Bm58 on February 12 over 1600m, 2 len behind Mystic Diva with 60kg at $4.20. Well placed. Backs up quickly and is expected to run well again.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 7 at Orange Ctry Cl4 Prev on February 9 over 1280m, in the wet; 6 len behind Graceful Ellen with 55kg at $17. Before that made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 10 at Cowra Cl3 on January 18 over 1375m, 0.5 len behind Ceremonious with 56.5kg at $2.70. Racing in great heart this prep and is a genuine contender.

Most recently faded in the straight 8th of 14 at Mudgee Cdra Champ on February 21 over 1400m, slow going 5.5 len behind Tom Vegas with 54kg at $51. The start before that second last of 9 at Dubbo Bm74 on February 2 over 1100m, 3 len behind Inazuma Boy carrying 55kg at $5.50. Faces a far easier assignment this time so a better run is on the cards.
