Bendigo Race 12

Gray's Bendigo (300+ Rank)

Prize Money: $1,530

INVICTUS BLUE (2) was among the minors three back at Warragul then missed the frame the last two, but drawn box 2 this time where he has three wins. Can turn form around here. WALL HOUSE (1) put in a much better performance last start when in the placings at Geelong behind Take A Jaguar (23.31) in a Bottom Up - Grade 5. Has the pace to be prominent. Expected to feature. BENGAL BULLET (5) has a strong record this track and trip including two wins from three starts. Below best last time at Geelong (23.20) in a Rank Limit - Grade 5, finishing a 2.5 lengths fourth. Can feature with the right run. ELSA JAY (8) should be thereabouts despite an unplaced run here most recently.

Showed good improvement when third behind Take A Jaguar at Geelong last start over 400m (23.31). Likely to play a major role.

Didn't make the placings last time at Geelong (26.86) in a Rank Limit - Grade 5, finishing a 5 length fifth. Strong record off the draw with three wins and two minors from seven starts. Looks hard to beat with even luck.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when second (22.81) over 390m at Shepparton. Tends to run fairly well from the draw and is among the better hopes.

Comments

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (24.63) in a Grade 5, finishing a 3.5 lengths fourth. Goes very well from the draw boasting six places from 12 starts. Can feature with the right run.
