Sapling Stakes winner Rippin Rupert makes his racing return at Bathurst tonight.
The Bernie Hewitt-trained gelding will face a heat of the NSW Breeders Challenge.
Rippin Rupert has not raced since winning that Sapling Stakes at Menangle on March 12.
That was the son of Tintin In America’s second start and he rated a slick 1:53.2.
Hewitt has five horses engaged in that Breeders Challenge qualifier and has elected to take the reins on Rippin Rupert.
There are three Breeders Challenge heats in total tonight and Hewitt has 12 horses across the qualifiers.
The iForm best bets for Wednesday:
Bathurst best bet
Race 7: Brooklyn Bandit (1)
Gets a gun draw along with a class drop. Hard to beat.

Race 4: Mister Haywood (2)
Has been close up of late and looks an each way show in an even race.
Around the tracks
