Bathurst Race 2 - Kennards Hire (Bm58)
WISH YOU WERE HERE (2) has an okay win record and the tongue-tie comes off for this from the low draw. Assess on her good second at Corowa three-back. Senior rider hops aboard and is one of the key runners. LUCKY STAR (6) scored a long overdue Maiden win over 1600m at Goulburn in good style on April 11. Shaping up nicely and maps well again. SHYLOCK (9) stretched out to the 2400m and ran below expectations with a battling fifth at Wellington. Back in class and trip and expected to go close. DEVILS DAUGHTER (3) comes out of a solid rating contest after finishing fourth over 2100m at Gosford. Leading player.

At the latest run 5th of 9 at Orange Ctry Bm58 on April 17 over 1600m, 2.5 len behind A Boy Named Soo carrying 59kg at $3.80. The race before that 7th of 14 at Mudgee Ctry Bm66 on April 5 over 1400m, 4 len behind Midnight Luna carrying 57.5kg at $7.50. Worth another chance.

Most recently didn't do much in the run home; 8th of 10 at Canberra Bm55 on April 17 over 1600m, on a slow track; 8 len behind The Stars Align carrying 60kg at $5.50. The run before that 5th of 8 at Sapphire Coast Ctry Bm58 on March 30 over 1600m, slow going 3.5 len behind Gwennybegg with 60.5kg at $5. Tough to beat over this trip.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run 4th of 7 at Gosford Bm64 on April 2 over 2100m, 4.5 len behind Aussie Nation with 55kg at $21. The start before that 4th of 10 at Beaumont (Newcastle) Bm58 on March 23 over 2100m, on a slow track; 3.5 len behind Are You Kidding with 56kg at $11. Back in grade and will be harder to beat this time.

The race before that made significant ground from the rear of the field 2nd of 11 at Cowra Bm58 on March 9 over 1700m, slow going 2.5 len behind Take The Chance with 59.5kg at $19. Likely to find this out of reach.
