Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted December 17, 2023 Journalists Share Posted December 17, 2023 What Bathurst Races Where Bathurst Racecourse – 55 Eleven Mile Dr, Bathurst NSW 2795 When Monday, December 18, 2023 First Race 1:50pm AEDT Visit Dabble Racing heads to Bathurst Racecourse on Monday afternoon where a competitive seven-race meeting kicks off another week of racing. With clear skies forecast on raceday, and with favourable conditions leading into the meeting, the track will remain in the Good range throughout. The rail comes out 2m from the 1200m-250m, with the cutaway in play for racing commencing at 1:50pm AEDT. Best Bet at Bathurst – Maz Kanata Maz Kanata was only grabbed late upon resumption at Wyong on November 29 in a much tougher race than what she faces on Monday. The Va Pensiero mare hit the front inside the final furlong, only to having Smiling Prophet blouse her on the winning post. From barrier two under Alysha Collett, Maz Kanata should have no issue in landing the plumb spot just off the pace, and when asked to quicken, we expect Jason Coyle’s mare to put this race to bed in convincing fashion. Best Bet Race 5 – #3 Maz Kanata (2) 4yo Mare | T: Jason Coyle | J: Alysha Collett (57.5kg) -117.65 with Dabble Next Best at Bathurst – Zoukeeper Zoukeeper was rolled as an odds-on favourite at Hawkesbury on December 3, but we expect the Zoustar gelding to bounce back in impressive style on Monday. The four-year-old from the Edward O’Rourke barn has continually looked like a maiden win isn’t too far away, but keeps finding on or two better on the day. There should be no excuses at Bathurst, having drawn barrier three under Mitchell Bell. The pair can stalk the speed throughout, and with a swift turn of foot, Zoukeeper should be winning. Next Best Race 3 – #2 Zoukeeper (3) 4yo Gelding | T: Edward O’Rourke | J: Mitchell Bell (59kg) +240 with Picklebet Next Best Again at Bathurst – Kosciuszko Bound Michael Mulholland’s Kosciuszko Bound blew her chances of winning at Orange when resuming on December 12 having missed the start, but the mare showed plenty late to suggest she was worth following. The Bon Hoffa mare settled last and worked to the line nicely under Shayleigh Ingelse who sticks on board for this, claiming 2kg. If she can be a touch cleaner from the stalls, she should gain a perfect run in transit from barrier two. From there, Kosciuszko Bound should prove too tough to hold out in the opening event. Next Best Again Race 1 – #5 Kosciuszko Bound (2) 5yo Mare | T: Michael Mulholland | J: Shayleigh Ingelse (a2) (57kg) +290 with Neds Monday quaddie tips for Bathurst Bathurst quadrella selections Monday, December 18, 2023 1-2-3-4-7-8 1-3 1-2-3-4-5 1-3-6-7 | Copy this bet straight to your betslip More racing tips View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
