Bathurst Race 3

Smooth Satin Pacing Cup

Prize Money: $11,832

RIPP (9) has been racing well at Menangle where he has placed despite working in his last two outings against decent opposition. Those efforts indicate he is close to another win and he owns a 50 per cent strike rate at this circuit. Draws alone on the back row so should have options. Looks tough to stop. FASHION ICON (6) came from the outside barrier and worked when fourth last time out but draws a couple of spots lower. Good enough to win if things go his way. SMOOTH BUZZ (8) draws wide but has been going well from the back row of late and his strike rate at this circuit and distance stands at 50 per cent including a win in his last attempt last month. HUNTER SHANNON (3) has been about the mark of late and must be respected from a good draw.

Didn't do much last start, was well back in the run when 5th (Fr3) over 1730m at this track, at the bell was 6th-32.02 beaten 14 m by Ultimate Cruza (2:02.10) in NR up to 67 on March 4 at $7. Before that was driven from back in the field when 8th (Fr3) over 2260m at this track, beaten 15 m by Smooth Buzz (2:44.00) in NR up to 80 on February 18 at $21. This looks a tough test.

Didn't do much at the last run, was well back in the run when 7th (Fr6) over 1730m at this track, beaten 14 m by Grayson Red (2:02.70) in NR up to 65 on March 11 at $34.

Failed to impress last start; 7th (Sr1) over 1730m at this track, at the bell was 7th-10.65 beaten 17 m by Alta William (2:03.50) in NR up to 90 on March 4 at $9.50. Showed ability the race before when he won by 2 m as favourite when quickly away, (Fr6) at Menangle (1:51.80) beating Duty Of Care in 4-020yo+ 0W/20K Stakes on February 21 at $2.20. Can play a greater role this time.

Last start to make any headway until the straight; raced back and made ground from the turn; posted a big 3.5 m win when driven back in the field, (Fr7) held up early, at this track (2:02.40) beating Smooth Buzz in No NR on February 25 at $101 at the bell was 9th-18.52. Deserves some respect.

Good performance when beaten by 3 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Kingmaker at Menangle over 1609m in a No NR on March 7 at $5.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Double Lou at Menangle over 1609m in a NR up to 95 on March 14 at $4. Rates highly. Close to a win and strikes at 50 per cent here.

Expected Settling Position: Leader
