Barry Bonds cavalierly dismissed any notion that he is concerned about a looming indictment before he took the field yesterday in chase of Hank Aaron's career home run record.

His lawyer, however, told the Daily News that if the government is determined to battle in court, he will fight the feds and win.

"I'll outmaneuver them at every turn," Michael Rains said last night. "I've kicked their ass in private, I'll continue to kick their ass in public."

Rains said the government has no case against Bonds and reiterated that he has given prosecutors secret evidence that should have derailed their pursuit of his client. Rains still won't say what that evidence is. But if the feds choose to proceed with an indictment sometime before the newly extended grand jury expires in January, he said he is prepared.
