Bathurst Race 2

The Grind Gold Nugget 2Yo Hcp

Prize Money: $29,000

SASSY ABBEY (5) looks the one to beat after a gallant second at Gosford recently when just edged out. Was a beaten favourite at Orange prior but well placed in this. GILETTE (8) has trialled well on a couple of occasions at Rosehill and Kembla Grange and has the inside barrier. Pay to keep safe. SHEEZA DIVA (10) sat handy and boxed on okay fresh at Hawkesbury despite being a huge price. This would be the easiest race she's found so she could show up. BONDI BLOSSOM (7) and LYCHEE GREEN TEA (9) are in the mix.

Facing the starter for the first time. Two-year-old gelding by Fierce Impact out of Star On High. At the most recent trial finished ninth at Rosehill over 900m. Hard to get a guide from only trial and prefer to see.

Last start 2nd in a small field at Gosford Super Mdn-Sw on April 10 over 1100m, on a slow track; head behind Extreme Diva with 55kg at $6. The start before that 2nd of 11 at Orange Mdn-Sw on March 23 over 1000m, on a slow track; 1.1 len behind Itszarbaby carrying 55kg at $1.40. Well placed and should take beating.

Most recently sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 8 at Hawkesbury 2yo Hcp on April 9 over 1100m, 2.75 len behind Grand Eagle carrying 54.5kg at $151. The start before that 13th of 16 at Randwick in the LR Millennium on February 8 over 1100m, 5.5 len behind Rivellino with 54.5kg at $201. Not bad when resuming and this easier so she could lift sharply.
