Bendigo Race 6

Campbell's Comments (1-2 Wins)

Prize Money: $1,740

MARVULLI (1) was well supported last start but didn't deliver when fourth (25.24), beaten 16 lengths. Finished third the start before. Has claims if he runs up to expectations. AUNTY FAYE (2) was below best at her last couple, the latest finishing seventh at Sandown, but was among the placings at Sandown three back. Can hit the frame this time. SAM'S UNIVERSE (8) has missed the frame at his last two but did run well three back when third (30.25) in a Restricted WIN at Sandown. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. LES NORTON (4) is right in the mix.

Well supported here last start but failed to deliver, finishing finished 4th in a T3 RSTW on January 7 over 425m at this track behind Especial Kiani beaten 16 lengths (25.24). Placed two back at this track. Has been racing well. Well placed here and looks a leading contender.

Latest effort finished 7th over 595m at Sandown beaten 9 lengths (35.13) behind Bomb Over in a Restricted WIN on January 6. Last couple have been below par. Deserves another chance.

Good effort last time when second (29.06) over 500m at this track. Drawn close to the inside. Looks to have the job ahead.
