2Hellfire Henry

Our price $3.60 · SP $2.90 · Louise Day

Hellfire Henry should lead from barrier 3 in a maiden where on-pace runners dominate at Bathurst, and he nearly won over this course and distance on soft ground earlier in the year.

2nd pick2nd
6Lindos

Our price $6.00 · SP $7.00 · Dale Cole

Lindos should be handy from barrier 5, which is the type of map that wins maidens at Bathurst.

3rd pick6th
5Chrislyn

Our price $12.00 · SP $19.00 · Clayton Gallagher

The trainer is successful at this track, and she was competitive over 1400m last start.

Value pick8th
9Amahtrom

Our price $4.20 · SP $13.00 · Damon Budler

Amahtrom ran on strongly for second last start and gets the lightest weight in the field. A strong combination of jockey and trainer is a positive, though the Bathurst stats weigh against backmarkers.

10Diamond Dice

Our price $3.40 · SP $4.60 · Keagan Latham

Lightweight and drawn 7 with a handy to midfield style, she should be able to settle within range. First-up from a spell and a cold stable are minor concerns, but the form and class stand out in a weak maiden.

2nd pick2nd
1Dwight

Our price $4.00 · SP $3.60 · Winona Costin

He is a proven leader in a race where the on-pace runners are strongest and he's improving. Included as a place chance who can hold on, but not the top pick on form alone.

3rd pick4th
2Soviet Storm

Our price $6.50 · SP $7.00 · Brodie Loy

A big improver last start when third at Goulburn over this trip on Soft, when he ran at his best standard. Barrier 4 should enable him to sit handy behind the leaders, which suits Bathurst's maiden profile.

Value pick6th
8Elegant Anders

Our price $4.50 · SP $3.40 · Shaun Guymer

A debutant with encouraging trial form, including a third on a Soft track, drawn well at barrier 3 in a race where inside draws and early position count. Trainer Pfeiffer and Shaun Guymer have won together before and the stable's single runner at the meeting hints at genuine intent.

4Mi Piace

Our price $3.00 · SP $2.30 · Winona Costin

Mi Piace should find the front from the inside draw and dictate in a race that suits on-pace types. Her last two runs were creditable against stiffer maiden fields, and the leader's edge at Bathurst in maidens is strong. The stable's poor recent strike rate and the step up in trip are the only concerns, but she is the most likely winner on form and map.

2nd pick2nd
2De Razilly

Our price $4.50 · SP $4.40 · Deon Le Roux

De Razilly has pace, wet-track experience and a strong local stable behind her. She ran a game second earlier this year and settles close to the speed. The wide gate and a tendency to fade late over shorter trips are concerns, but the map should see her in the first few and she is the clear second pick.

3rd pick7th
1Listen To Win

Our price $6.00 · SP $10.00 · Jacob Stiff

Listen To Win is a handy type who should settle in the first four and has previously run a good third on soft ground over this trip.

Value pickScratched
9The Fire Inside

Our price $10.00

The Fire Inside is the best of the overlays. Her stable and jockey are a potent combination, the draw is handy, and she can settle closer than usual in a race without a blazing pace.

3My Boy Scout

Our price $3.00 · SP $2.00 · Heavelon Van Der Hoven

His runs this preparation have been solid against rivals who have mostly been well off the pace at this level. Drawn 3 and set to sit on speed, he gets the Bathurst map advantage with a gentle tempo expected. The step up to 1200m is a question but he has the cruising style to handle it.

2nd pick4th
7Raguel

Our price $4.50 · SP $4.00 · Jack Baker

Raguel looks the main danger. He is the quickest away of this field and should dictate or sit just behind the leader from a good gate. The step up from maidens is a worry, but he has been competitive in the wet and carries a light weight. If he gets an easy time he can hold on.

3rd pick2nd
6Fawlty Affairs

Our price $5.00 · SP $4.40 · Teaque Gould

A genuine chance, as he has won at this course and distance and rarely runs poorly. The wide draw and a midfield-or-worse position are negatives on a track that favours the on-pace runners.

Value pick5th
5Allusive Intent

Our price $7.50 · SP $14.00 · Deon Le Roux

Allusive Intent has been running solidly and has a soft-track win to his name.

4Strollin' By

Our price $3.20 · SP $2.45 · Mikayla Weir

She has run well in better grades and drops into Class 1. Barrier 10 is a real concern at Bathurst, but she is only midfield and should find cover.

2nd pick2nd
1Marinera

Our price $5.00 · SP $5.50 · Clayton Gallagher

Handy-running mare with an open lead to track. She ran well when stepped up in grade at Moree and has won on soft ground.

3rd pick3rd
2Salma's Star

Our price $6.00 · SP $3.20 · Jess Taylor

Drawn well and settled handy with early speed, so she can get a good run. Her recent runs were flat and she is carrying top weight, but a drop in class and a fresh preparation give her a chance.

999th pickScratched
3Choc Chip

Our price $4.50

She is lightly raced and still improving. Barrier 9 and the class rise are real concerns, but she can slot in midfield behind a moderate pace and finish well.

Value pick7th
9Dark Thinker

Our price $8.00 · SP $26.00 · Jacob Stiff

A consistent on-pace mare on light weight with a decent soft-ground record, who is second up this prep. A bold each-way chance rather than a confident winner.

8Tavijewel

Our price $5.50 · SP $7.00 · Izzy Neale

Tavijewel is the pick on form. The map gives it a soft run at the front, and Bathurst rewards runners in the first three at the 400m. Its recent runs at this class have been consistently sound and it should handle the soft surface.

2nd pick5th
10Gosh Almighty

Our price $4.20 · SP $2.90 · Sairyn Fawke

His second over 2000m at Kembla Grange was the strongest run in this field, and he gets weight relief as a three-year-old.

3rd pick2nd
3Godwits

Our price $7.50 · SP $7.00 · Jake Pracey-Holmes

Godwits has been racing very well in the country, winning at Mendooran and running a close second at Dubbo carrying big weights. He can sit just behind the leaders from the inside gate, which is ideal here.

Value pickScratched
9Hussy La Vista

Our price $8.50

A progressive four-year-old who won last start and has rarely been far away this campaign, including on soft ground. She should get a handy run behind the speed.

5Alabama Hussy

Our price $3.50 · SP $2.60 · Deon Le Roux

She should be handy from a wide gate, has won here over the trip, and drops in class with a light weight and a claiming rider.

2nd pick6th
3I'm Scarlett

Our price $5.00 · SP $4.40 · Mikayla Weir

She has run consistently well against better horses and now drops into a BM58. She is the one most likely to be placed on class, but her back-of-field style is a concern at a track where front-half runners dominate. The barrier lets her slot in and save ground, and she should finish well, but she may be too far back to win.

3rd pick2nd
4Street Swagger

Our price $8.00 · SP $6.00 · Jacob Stiff

A genuine wet-tracker with a recent solid run at Bathurst on similar ground, and he was unlucky not to finish closer. Weight and rider claim help, and the jockey knows the track well.

8Hanuman

Our price $3.40 · SP $3.30 · Winona Costin

He won easily in front at Wellington on the soft, then won at Bathurst on a heavy track. He has a good draw for a horse who can lead or sit handy, and that suits Bathurst's front-half bias. His wet-track record is the best of the leading contenders.

2nd pick2nd
4Abstruse

Our price $5.50 · SP $5.50 · Brodie Loy

Her recent form is the best of the chasers. She was beaten on the line over 1100m last start and won twice on soft tracks before that. The map says she'll be back in the field, which works against her at Bathurst, but the inside draw and a moderate tempo should let her be closer than the map suggests.

3rd pickNo result
3Violet And Blue

Our price $8.00 · Deon Le Roux

A genuine soft-track mare who is dropping into a weaker class. She has been running on well over the past few starts. The draw is good, and the soft ground and moderate tempo give her a chance of finishing into the placings.

Value pickNo result
6Missile Defence

Our price $12.00 · Dale Cole

His Goulburn win on soft ground was one of the best performances in this field. He's dropping from longer distances, and the light weight and a claiming rider help.
