Bendigo Race 8

Gray's Bendigo

Prize Money: $3,875

TAMMY MCIVOR (5) has a fair record and proved too strong last time to win by a long neck at Sandown in a handy 34.32 beating Oaklyn Bale. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in her latest win. Looks the testing material. COOPER SUMMER (1) flew the lids with a sensational early split hitting the frame with a 2 length third (28.45) over 500m at this track. Comes through a solid form race last start. Expected to be in the finish again. CHAPPY'S THIEF (2) has a strong record this track and trip with three wins and two placings from seven starts. Below best last time at The Meadows (31.03) in a Grade 5 FIN, finishing a 7 length fourth. Looks a key chance on best figures. LETIZIA (3) is among the chances again if she runs up to the latest effort.

Comments

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a scorching early split, grabbed late but holding on to a placing when a 2 length third (28.45) over 500m at this track. Solid formlines coming through that last run. Looks a major player.

Latest effort finished 4th in a Grade 5 FIN on April 26 over 525m at The Meadows behind Rapid Heart beaten 7 lengths (31.03). More than capable and has to be included.

Good effort to win last start by 1.3 lengths over 450m at Shepparton in a handy (25.22), beating Paw Tabitha. In form and is right in the mix again.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at The Meadows over 525m in 30.15. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when seventh over 450m at Warrnambool at Special conditions H level. Tempted to look elsewhere.

Found the going tougher last start when third over 450m at Warrnambool. That followed a win two back in 25.42 beating No Iron Team over 460m at Warragul. Minor place prospects only.

Snuck into the minor money last time when a 2 length second at Ballarat but did record an outstanding 30.95 over the 545m journey. Looks an each way chance again here.

Comments

Should get a clear run from the wide draw. Wasn't impressive last start but does have a great record at this track and distance, the form from the last run stacks up nicely. Worth following up.
