Bathurst Race 1 - Nsw Jockeys Association Mdn Hcp
HEEZA STEVE (7) did a great job to finish second on a heavy track at Gosford two back. Poor effort at Newcastle six days ago but can be forgiven one bad run. Back sharply in trip but that form displayed two starts ago puts him at top billing. FAWLTY AFFAIRS (3) loomed up at the corner but didn't quite finish his race off last time out over 1300m at Scone. Fitter for two runs back from a spell - just has to handle the going to be a major player. AZUCAR (1) got too far back and was never in contention recently over 1100m at Forbes. Placed two back over this distance on a soft surface. Should give a good account. FORGIVE ME FATHER (6) was well in commission on debut last start over 1080m at the Canberra Acton but had no luck in running and can be forgiven the failure. Draws the fence and deserves another chance. Debutant COOL AZA DUDE (2) trialled well for Gary Portelli recently and is worth monitoring for market confidence.

Most recently 7th of 12 at Forbes on August 2 over 1100m, 5 len behind Colly Blue with 57.5kg at $20. The race before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 9 at Warren on July 21 over 1200m, on a slow track; 1.0 len behind Time To Commit carrying 56.5kg at $14. Nicely placed and gets his chance to bounce back.

Gelding by Cool Aza Beel facing the starter for the first time. Was runner-up in a trial at Warwick Farm on August 4 over 786m. Looks good enough to make his mark.

Gelding by King Of Comedy facing the starter for the first time. Hasn't shown a great deal in trials leading up to this and inclined to invest in others.

Second-up. First-up after 16 months 2nd in a small field at Louth on August 8 over 1000m, 1.5 len behind Daisy Duck with 59kg at $2. Previously second-up 5th of 11 at Pakenham on April 24 2025 over 1400m, 4.5 len behind Taken with 59kg at $31. Has the job ahead in this better race.

Most recently ran last of 10 at Hawkesbury on August 11 over 1500m, slow going 10 len behind Rapid Revenue carrying 57kg at $101. The race before that raced on the pace when 2nd of 8 at Gosford on July 18 over 1600m, in the wet; 1.5 len behind Zenmode with 56.5kg at $14. The good heavy track performance two back at Gosford is the key form reference.

Second run back. First-up after six months ran last in a small field at Louth on August 8 over 1000m, 8 len behind Daisy Duck carrying 57.5kg at $3.20. Previously second-up 6th of 8 at Queanbeyan on September 9 over 1600m, 4.5 len behind Spurline with 55kg at $14. Can do much better with that run under his belt.
