Bendigo Race 6

Peter Brown Custom Homes

Prize Money: $3,340

PAW ZENITH (7) had been racing well with a Grade 5 win three back then placed next time before missing the frame latest at Shepparton. Looks suited here and big improvement expected. ROSIE'S CHATTER (5) took advantage of the inside draw with an all-the-way win last start (26.00) at Warragul in a Mix 6/7 over 460m. Comes through a solid form race last start. Can make it two on the bounce. BELFAST SPOT (2) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fourth (30.41) in a Grade 5 at The Meadows. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings seven times from 12 attempts. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. GUMTREE HILL (1) should be thereabouts after filling a top-three spot most recently.

Has hit the frame the last two starts, the latest when third (27.63) over 485m at Horsham. Draws the cherry this time. One of the better hopes.

Didn't make the placings last time at The Meadows (30.41) in a Grade 5, finishing a 7 length fourth. Yet to win but has placed seven times from this draw. Looks suited and should go close.

Showed good improvement when third behind Naradhan at Horsham last start over 485m (27.57). Likely to play a major role.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but had to contend with second when clocking 28.31 over 500m at this track. Fought on last time. Right in the mix again.

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but ran over late and missed the frame when a 3.5 lengths fourth (25.35) over 450m at Shepparton. Has been around the mark at his last couple and should make his presence felt.
