Bathurst   17 Dec 2025
 
GOING: F

BEDWELLS FEEDBARN PACE 1730m

Track: FAST   Clear (Max: 26)    

FOLLOW THE ECLIPSE (10) kicked off his campaign with back-to-back seconds before delivering with a win by 1.6 metres at this venue last week.. Draws on the back line this time but is race fit and could go on with it. FUNDA (1) drew much wider in a higher-graded race last time and had recorded back-to-back placings at this circuit and distance prior, both from wider barriers than this. Should get his chance from the ace draw. SHE MAYBE BETTOR (9) hasn't quite performed to market expectations at her last couple of outings here but she is capable of better. Draws for a trail and could play a major role. BEANCOUNTER (5) was out of the money but not beaten too far last start and recorded a string of placings prior so respect.
