Bendigo Race 5

Tom Pell Memorial

Prize Money: $1,530

SMOKIN' ARROW (8) doesn't have the best strike-rate. Finished in the money last time though when second (24.46) at this track. Solid record here at the distance winning two races. The form from his last run stacks up well. Key chance in this line up. DURAN RACHEL (1) ran below best last time finishing eighth (23.04) over 390m at Ballarat from Box 7. Has a strong record from box 1, including three wins. Cannot be taken lightly. PAW CHEYENNE (2) was below best last time but prior to that was narrowly beaten when sixth (24.43) in a Grade 5 at this track. Expected to bounce back to best. INSTANT ACTION (7) profiles nicely here at this trip.

Last start finished last on March 30 over 390m at Ballarat behind Busting beaten 9 lengths (23.04) in a Grade 5. Has been racing well. Well placed here and looks a leading contender.

Could only manage sixth last time but the start prior hit the frame at double figure odds when second (24.43) over 425m at this track. Draws an inside box and is among the better hopes.

Missed the frame latest (24.75) when seventh over 425m at this track in a Grade 5. Goes very well from the draw boasting three victories and three places from 10 starts. Tough line-up and may struggle.

Was out of placings last time (24.89) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing seventh and beaten 8 lengths. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed two times. Tough field and looking to others this time.

Last start finished 2nd in a Rank Limit - Grade 5 on March 14 over 425m at this track behind Beeline beaten 7 lengths (24.46). In the money last time and looks well placed to go one better.
