Bendigo Race 12

One More Race To Go

Prize Money: $1,530

BELGIUM SLICE (1) missed the frame last time out when seventh at this track from Box two (24.64) but draws same box here as latest win. Tough to beat if on-song. TESS CABANG (2) was big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, weakening late to finish a 3.5 lengths fourth (22.66) over 390m at Ballarat. Expected to feature in the finish. TIPSY TURTLE (3) was never in contention last time after being shuffled back early at Shepparton, but prior to that won by 0.8 lengths at Ballarat (22.47) beating Kathlen's Entity in a Grade 5 on December 29. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. SERRATED EDGE (7) can play a role in the finish without surprising.

Started big odds last time but hit the ground running with a slick early split, giving a sight but fading out of it to finish fourth (22.66) at Ballarat over 390m. Comes through a solid form race. Expected to feature.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Ballarat over 390m in 22.47. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when sixth over 390m at Shepparton at Grade 5 level. Can make amends. Worth including.

Was out of placings last time (26.20) at Ballarat in a Grade 5, finishing fifth and beaten 11 lengths. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minors. Tough line-up and may struggle.
