Bendigo Race 12

One More Race To Go

Prize Money: $1,530

VALLETTA MOON (2) had been in super honest form hitting the frame three times on end before finishing fourth (24.41) at this track last time. Has a good record here at this journey. Has winning claims on her best figures. ALLIGATOR ROCK (1) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fifth (24.55) in a Grade 5 at this track. Can figure in the finish. PELICAN'S SUNDAY (7) goes very well over this track and trip including two wins. Recorded a 4.5 lengths win (22.23) in a Grade 5 last time at Shepparton. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts. GOLDEN LADY (8) can play a role in the finish without surprising.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 4th on February 20 over 425m at this track behind Son Of Witchy beaten 6 lengths (24.41) in a Grade 5. Placed two back at Geelong. Fought on last time. Has the ability and right in the mix.

Surprised two starts back at Shepparton to win by one length in 22.63, beating Lethal Force. Last start finished last over 390m at Shepparton beaten 5 lengths (22.78) behind Ascend Igloo in a Grade 5 on February 28. Cannot enthuse on this occasion.

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but ran over late and missed the frame when a 3.5 lengths fourth (22.31) over 390m at Shepparton. Happy to risk in this.

Impressive performance showing plenty of speed to score by 4.5 lengths in a Grade 5 last start at Shepparton, recording a swift 22.23 over the 390m journey. Rates a top chance again if runs up to latest.

Comments

Failed to finish the race over 390m at Shepparton last start. Prior to that was beaten 10 lengths over 425m at this track in a Grade 5. Last run is a strong form reference. Worth following up.
