Bendigo Race 8

SASSY SPICE (4) had been racing well with a Grade 5 win three back then placed next time before missing the frame latest at this track. Likely to improve sharply this time. SPICY ASSASSIN (7) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fifth (24.34) last time in a Grade 4/5 at this track. Likely to be about the money. FLUENT ACTION (8) produced a moderate effort last time when sixth at Geelong over 400m behind Lissy's A Demon (23.05) in a Grade 5 H. Has ability and is one of the better chances. ASCEND IGLOO (1) dominated last start. That form reads well.

Good performance to win by 1.75 lengths at Shepparton over 390m (22.42) beating Joe The Goose in Grade 5 on February 28. In winning form and can measure up again.

Missed the frame last time but the start prior clocked an excellent 22.06 over 390m finishing third at Shepparton. Can sneak a place again.

Missed the frame last start when eighth but had been in strong form prior to that, winning two on end before placing two back. Well placed here and expected to bounce back.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Shepparton over 390m in 22.01. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fifth over 390m at Warrnambool at Grade 4/5 level. Not going well enough. Needs to lift.

Didn't make the placings last time at Geelong (23.05) in a Grade 5 H, finishing a 11 length sixth. Goes very well from the draw boasting three victories and seven places from 11 starts. Has ability and can sneak into the finish.
