Breeders Challenge heat winner Baxter Red will be looking to make it three wins in a row when he races at Bathurst tonight.
Mitch Turnbull, who has guided the pacer to his last two victories, will drive the Steve Turnbull-trained gelding.
Baxter Red ran a personal best mile rate of 1:56.8 seconds when winning at this venue two starts ago.
He is bred and raced by passionate owner Rob Davis who races all of his horses with the ‘Red’ prefix.
Davis has three horses nominated for the upcoming Inter Dominion series in New South Wales.
Of those nominations, Atomic Red and Firestorm Red are trained by Turnbull. Davis’ other Inter Dominion hopeful is Power Of Red.
Other Bathurst-trained pacers nominated for the series include the Mat Rue-trained Fouroeight as well as Amanda Turnbull’s Ellmers Image and Bundoran. Our Uncle Sam has also been put up for the series.
The iForm team have put together their best bets for Bathurst tonight:
Bathurst best bet
Race 5: Castalong Shadow (6)
Impressive last time, grades well with the claim and can go back to back.
Bathurst next best
Race 4: Turbo Tommy (2)
Racing well, has a nice sprint on him and from the draw can be close enough to use it.

Race 7: 3,8,5
Race 8: 10,5,3
