Bathurst   07 May 2025
 
GOING: N

BOURKES HORSE RUGS PACE 2260m

Track: FAST   Clouds (Max: 19)    

UNCLE SPORTY (10) did a good job to come from wider on this row for second last start at Forbes and should appreciate this longer distance having won a higher-graded race the last time he contested it here. Has winning claims. There was plenty to like about the latest performance of TASBMIKI (9) when he drew wide and worked but stuck on to place. Draws for a nice trail with the sprint lane in play. Major player. AIR BORN (2) was solid from a wider draw last time and led for second two back at Parkes so can give a sight from this draw. TULHURST PARTYGIRL (3) draws well and cannot be left out after solid recent performances, the latest a sound fourth at this venue.
