Bendigo Race 5

Mannings Greyhound Complex

Prize Money: $2,925

KING MATTEO (4) was game in defeat at the latest run, finishing second and beaten 1.2 lengths (24.07) behind Paw Xena at this track. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings two times from three starts. Overdue and gets his chance. MORAINE SARA (5) had the drop on the lead and went on to be beaten 5 lengths into second (28.23) at this track in a Grade 4/5 over 500m. Some good form is emerging from her last run. Hard to beat again. IVORY HAMADA (2) comes here following a scorching win over 450m at Shepparton in 25.19. Rates a leading chance if runs up to latest. LAMIA NONNA MARY (1) has claims fresh from a recent placing in a tight finish.

Comments

Struggling to break through but racing consistently, finishing in the minors three starts on end. Last time out flew the lids with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when second (22.41) at Ballarat over 390m. Form from this box is very strong including three wins. Winning hope with the right run.

Comments

Eye-catching performance racing just off the speed and going on to score by a long neck in a Grade 4/5 last start at Shepparton, clocking an outstanding 25.19 for the 450m trip. Has the ability and can measure up again.

Comments

Has been in the minors the last two, the latest showing strong pace early but gathered in and finished a 1.2 lengths second over 425m this track in 24.07. Close to the speed and boxed on well at the latest run. Key chance again.

Comments

Flew the lids with a fast early split but had to contend with second when clocking 28.23 over 500m at this track. Although unsuccessful last time still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Stick with her.
