Bendigo Race 7

Prize Money: $3,340

MONTANA ICON (1) has been mixing form lately, hitting the frame two back before finishing fourth (28.45) at this track in a Grade 5. Expecting sharp improvement this line-up. WHIRLER (6) hit the ground running and set it up early last time, clocking 23.83 with a 2.5 lengths win at this track over 425m and making it back to back wins. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in her latest win. Has definite claims. DON'T TELL DANNI (4) has been a little hard to follow, missing the frame last time but was a Bottom Up - Grade 5 winner three starts ago and returns to Bendigo where she tends to run well. Well placed here and can atone this time. BOMB OVER (2) is worth including.

Comments

Was sent out long odds last time but charged out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 2 length fourth (28.45) over 500m at this track. Around the mark two starts back. Winning chance on that form.

Could only manage fourth last time but the start prior hit the frame at double figure odds when third (25.76) over 450m at Shepparton. Draws an inside box and in the mix on his best form.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when third (28.91) over 500m at this track. Aided by a low draw but will need to find best.

Missed the frame last start when fifth and beaten 7 lengths at Shepparton. Form solid prior to that including a win at this track three back. Best figures puts her right in this and well worth another chance.

Produced a good effort last start to finish fifth on August 10 over 450m at Shepparton behind Zipping Smee, beaten 1.5 lengths (25.86) in a Grade 5. Shouldn't trouble the top few hopes.

Started big odds last time but hit the ground running with a slick early split, giving a sight but fading out of it to finish fourth (19.69) at Healesville over 350m. This appears within his reach.

Good effort to win last start by 1.2 lengths over 500m at this track in a handy (28.43), beating Don't Tell Danni. Must be a winning chance again.

Expected Early Speed:Midfield
