Bendigo Race 8

Jarrod Larkin Concreting

Prize Money: $3,340

CHAPPY'S THIEF (6) has a strong record this track and trip with four wins and two placings from 10 starts. Scored by 3.5 lengths last time (28.46) in a Grade 5 over 500m at this track. With a clean break looks hard to beat. OVER ACHIEVER (7) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fourth (28.62) last time in a Grade 4/5 at this track. Has a good record here at this journey. One of the main contenders. KENSINGTON FLYER (1) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fourth (30.71) last time in a Grade 5 at The Meadows. Form from his last run is proving to be solid. Shapes as one to consider. SANTORINI BALE (2) cannot be ruled out.

Produced a good effort last start to finish fourth in a Grade 5 on August 25 over 450m at Shepparton behind Miss Georgie Lee, beaten half a length (25.80). Has ability and worth including.

Backs up after winning by 1.1 lengths at Ballarat (25.71) beating Good Odds Mario in a Grade 5 on August 23 six days ago. This is much harder assignment and he needs to find another gear.

Showed good improvement when second behind Miss Georgie Lee at Shepparton last start over 450m (25.78). Made up good ground from the back and will be strong late again. Has to be included.
