Bendigo Race 5

Sportsbet Final

Prize Money: $3,875

COPPER RUSH (1) has a strong record this journey with two wins and a minor from five starts. In the money last time at The Meadows (35.14) in a Restricted WIN, finishing a 4.5 lengths third. Looks the one to beat with even luck. WHAT A STORY (7) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fifth (25.98) in a Mix 6/7 FIN at Shepparton. One of the better hopes. NEO DEVERE (4) has claims if he runs up to his best.

Last start finished 3rd in a Restricted WIN on December 4 over 600m at The Meadows behind Canya Vivi beaten 4.5 lengths (35.14). Capable of improvement on latest effort. Well placed and should feature.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (24.73) in a Restricted WIN, finishing a 6 length sixth. Has performed well off the draw with a win and two places from four starts. Looks suited here and can measure up on best.

Won two starts back at Warragul over 460m in 26.13. Followed that up with a minor placing over 460m at Warragul at Mix 6/7 a week-and-a-half ago. Can't enthuse on this occasion.

Missed the frame last start when a 13 length fifth (25.98) at Shepparton. Previous form sound including a win three back at Warragul. Shapes well here on best and gets chance to atone.

Could only manage fifth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest when third (28.56) over 500m at this track. Will need to find best.
