BEST BET 🏆
Race 2 No. 4 STARS AND BARS – ($3.40)
STARS AND BARS gets his chance in Race 2 of the day at Bathurst. The three-year-old has had the two career starts and had excuses on debut at Hawkesbury when 5th over the 1000m before sticking to that track on July 17 and running 4th behind Test Of Faith, when again luckless. The son of Starspangledbanner settled towards the tail and endured a chequered path in the straight but produced the fastest last 400m to go 4.8 lengths slower than standard, which are the best last start figures of any runner and the second best that
Best Value 💰 (EACH-WAY)
Race 1 No. 5 CHAMAL POWER – ($16)
I didn’t mind the debut of CHAMAL POWER at Gosford on July 14 and the two-year-old can improve off the effort that saw her run 5th behind Oakfield Blossom on a Heavy track. The Hawkesbury-trained filly overrated a fraction in the early stages and looked to be right in contention at the 300m mark before just tiring late into 5th position, beaten three lengths. She had trialled well prior to that run and if she can settled a bit better this time around there is no reason to suggest why she can’t be a force to be reckoned with back at Bathurst.
