Soldier’s Desire has improved for two starts back from a spell and is ready to win at Bathurst this afternoon.
The daughter of Epaulette filled the minors behind Belieber at Wyong when resuming this time, and was unlucky not to win when a head second at Hawkesbury last time out.
She’ll take further improvement into this race and might not be offered a better opportunity.
Whatsin has been excellent in two starts back from a spell and this looks the perfect race for her.
The daughter of Epaulette charged home to break her maiden at Hawkesbury when resuming, and was just a length and a half behind the winner at Mudgee last time out.
Fitter third-up and from the good draw, she is my best bet of the day.
Tic Tock Man has been a strong and consistent performer this preparation, and he strikes another winnable race at Bathurst this afternoon.
The Time Thief gelding ran a head second over 1300m at Kembla Grange when second-up and broke his maiden in style at the same track two back.
His last appearance, a close-up second in Class 1 company was also excellent, and this looks a terrific opportunity for him to continue his rise through the grades.
Owhata Crumpet is seeking a hat-trick of wins at Scone this afternoon and looks capable of doing it.
The Albrecht mare took a couple to tune up when resuming, but broke her maiden in style at Muswellbrook before repeating that effort and result at Tuncurry last time out.
This is slightly harder again, but she looks more than capable and should be given every opportunity under Jeff Penza.
