Bathurst Race 7

Congratulations 2025 Gold Crown Winner Message Bank Pace

Stake: $10,771

HOPPALONGPOG (5) will find this easier than his resuming assignment in a Gold Chalice heat where he drew very wide. Showed good promise with a win and a second in a two-start maiden campaign. Fitter and much better placed. VALENTINI (4) was shuffled back but worked home well for third last start at this circuit and distance, beaten 2.5 metres. She could pose a serious challenge. BARBARADAWNSHANNON (1) has come from the back line at her last couple and broke last time but placed from this draw three back at Newcastle so can do better. ROYAL VILLA (3) wasn't too far away when off this same draw last time. Include.

Recent efforts haven't been up to her best. Last start 6th (Sr1) over 1730m at this track was 7th-14.7m on the pegs at the bell, beaten 16 m by Rose Of Juliana (2:04.80) in NR up to 42 on March 26 at $5.50. The run prior 7th (Sr2) over 1730m at this track, beaten 17 m by Wattosblazeofglory (2:05.30) in 4yo+ NR up to 50 on March 12 at $13. Certainly up to this and she is a major player.

Last start was well back in the run when 7th (Fr6) over 1730m at this track beaten 22 m by Dolly Rocket (2:04.50) in NR up to 47 on March 5 at $151. Two runs back was driven from back in the field when 8th (Fr8) over 2260m at this track was 10th-18.88 at the bell, beaten 17 m by Flash Azarat (2:46.40) in NR up to 47 on February 26 at $151. This looks a stern test.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 9th (Fr6) over 2260m at this track, beaten 23 m by Flash Azarat (2:46.40) in NR up to 47 on February 26 at $101. Two runs back came from midfield and won by a head (Sr2) at this track (2:10.50) beating Jets Reason in MAIDEN on January 29 at $4 at the bell was 5th-8.8m 2WWC. Unlikely to threaten.
