Bendigo (G) Race 8

Sportsbet Final

Prize Money: $3,875

ASTON SUMMIT (1) has a strong record here including two wins from three starts. Recorded a 8 length win (27.83) in a Grade 5 H last time at this track. Appeals as a leading chance in this. WINNING RATIO (5) was quickly into stride and found the front last start to record an all-the-way win (28.07) at this track in a Grade 5 H over 500m. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings three times from six attempts. Must be included in calculations. BOUNDING CHIEF (2) posted a slick 28.17 when placed over 500m at this track last start in a Grade 5 H. Should be in this for a long way. SALT SPECKLE (3) scored by 1.75 lengths last time (28.19) in a Grade 5 H over 500m at this track. Has already won two times from this draw.

Comments

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 500m in 27.83 last start, beating Sorella. Likes the rails so has run very fast time at this course and distance. Go close on his best form.

Form has been solid with minor placings at her last four starts. Last time out finished 3rd in a Grade 5 H on March 20 over 500m at this track behind Salt Speckle beaten 2.25 lengths (28.33). Hard to envisage a win.

Impressive performance leading throughout to score by 1.5 lengths in a Grade 5 H last start at this track, clocking an excellent 28.07 for the 500m trip. Has the ability and looks a key chance again.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but ran over at the finish when a narrow fourth (28.34) over 500m at this track. Prefer in something easier.
