Bathurst Race 5

Hynash Group Gold Crown Heat Three

Prize Money: $11,832

DON HUNTER (9) made an impressive start to his career when he started a hot favourite and cruised home by more than 10m in the Listed Sapling Stakes at Menangle. Draws on the back row but starts alone there so should have options. Looks big on talent so should prove tough to beat. BORN TO ENTERTAIN (4) made a winning start to his career nine days ago, working forward from this barrier to lead before getting home by more than 7 metres at this circuit and distance. Has upside so could go on with it. JACWILL KID (1) produced a good effort on debut, racing parked from this barrier but boxing on in finishing runner-up at Melton. Can make an impact again. CAPTAINS BANDIT (2) lines up for the first time. By Captain Crunch and hails from the Brad Hewitt stable. Placed in his latest trial and has the benefit of a good draw so anticipating a good start to his career.

Two-year-old colt facing the starter for the second time. At debut 4th (Fr2) over 1740m at Riverina Paceway, at the bell was 4th-9.4 beaten 17 m by Gocciadoro (2:04.50) in 2yo NR up to 55 on March 6 at $19. Not keen on his chances.

Was on debut by 10 m as favourite when quickly away, (Fr2) at Menangle (1:54.20) beating Themidnightexpress in 2yo LR No NR on March 7 at $1.20 at the bell was leading 2.54. Draws on the back row this time but looks big on talent.
