Bendigo Race 1

Vale Fiona Ralph Mdn Plate

Prize Money: $37,500

I SAID SO (3) has raced twice to date, close up in a very strong maiden on debut behind Steel Move and Madiyya, the latter of whom won impressively in strong company on Saturday. I SAID SO then hit the line strongly when staying at 1200m and now steps up to 1400m. Looks set to improve again. JAMESJOHNO (4) showed marked improvement second up at this track over 1300m at his second outing. Right in this. BAKERSBEND (1) has placed in all three runs to date, beaten just a nose over 1212m at Geelong last time out. Drawn to get back but will be strong late. DARKBONEE (2) wasn't far away on debut at Warrnambool and should improve off that. SOURCE OF DELIGHT (10) was solid over this trip at Pakenham last time and is in the mix.

Racing well. At the latest run made ground from midfield; 2nd of 9 at Geelong 3yo Mdn-Sw on April 23 over 1212m, nose behind Wild Dancer with 58kg at $4. The start before that ran on strongly from last on the turn; 2nd of 8 at Sandown-Lakeside 3yo Mdn on April 9 over 1200m, 0.5 len behind Santa Ana Moon with 58kg at $12. Should be hard to hold out.

Filly by Tarzino facing the starter for the first time. Finished sixth in a Bendigo trial over 1300m on April 28. Unplaced in recent trials and inclined to risk for now.

Expected Settling Position: No speed data
