Our attention returns Bathurst today, with an 8 race meeting dishing up some mouth-watering clashes.
Pro Punter Dane Thorogood eyes off action and has an extensive race-by-race overview and speed maps avaliable here.
He reveals three plays for the meeting below.
Oh One Job should lead this given she is way better in front and doesn’t like running past other horses.
Winona Writer looks set to head forward and is up in grade, but the mail was the she was underdone before she bolted in last start and will be up to this grade.
Im Desirable will be the big improver each way after getting poleaxed last start and lost all hope.
Perfect Cut is probably the best horse in the race, but has a bad draw and pulled hard last start.
Major Bracken is drawn ok and was an easy winner last start when leading, although will have to do work at some point from back row.
Mach Daddy can run a place with luck from inside the back row.

Bathurst Race 1 #6 I'm Desirable $18.00 / $3.50 each way
Standandeliver has very good ability when he is right. He has the speed to lead and then hand it up to stablemate Burns Bay.
Sweet Heaven will get a soft trip, but need luck to get off the fence. She has a great turn of foot, but she will need it from there.
Castalong Shadow will like the long trip and Angel Shark can improve as long as she has cover after she got knocked down last start.

Bathurst Race 4 #1 Standandeliver $8 /$2.25 each way
Lotta Laughs on her run two starts back should be winning this, she's way down in grade here and has drawn perfectly.
Chase The Feeling can run a place again from the draw following the favourite.
Switchem All In is at good odds and is a great place hope. Rusty McCool was good last start and on that has to be considered. Burrabadine Dancer could improve at odds.
