7-time Bathurst winner Jim Richards previewed this year’s edition of the epic race. Tony Leonard dissected Adelaide’s footy department overhaul. Adam Peacock analysed the Socceroos’ thrashing of Nepal and previewed the A-League season. Drew Mitchell questioned the Rugby World Cup’s handling of Typhoon Hagibis. Jon Thomson had regular updates live from Mt Panorama. Bruce Clark looked at the major races this weekend in Melbourne and Sydney. And Nat Wallace has picked out these roughies for the weekend’s racing: Randwick R1 N6 Carillon Overs at 20s. Clearly has a few issues but ability and out to backable odds e/w. Was good late l/s when failed to get the right drag into race. Final split has him competitive here. Been back to the trials so fitness shouldn’t be a prob. Maps well in a hard race and if he can settle midfield or closer from gate, can finish off.  R3 N3 Asterius First up off nice trial, and gets in well with claim. The yard will tell us more. Was flying last prep and sections then make him a winning chance here in a race where there appears to be enough speed. Overs at 11s e/w. R5 N3 Accession  Forgotten horse in the field and wrong odds at 11s. Copped a squeeze at the gate l/s and was never a winning chance mathematically from where he ended up. Last 200m exceptional. Blinkers on shows intent. With rain coming I expect more money for Cosmic Force which should give us a nice eachway price. All that and more with David Morrow and Mat Thompson on Friday the 11th of October 2019.
