Bendigo Race 13

Prize Money: $1,530

NOTORIOUS BLAZE (4) turned in a better run last time to find a minor placing (23.32) at Shepparton behind Tess Cabang in a Bottom Up - Grade 5. Settled off speed and worked to the line nicely. Sure to be about the mark. CHAIN DRIVE (8) turned in a plain performance last time when fifth at this track over 425m behind Canya Ignite (24.87) in a Grade 5. Has the ability to give this a shake. COSMIC REWARD (6) turned in a moderate performance last time when eighth at this track over 425m behind Canya Ignite (25.24) in a Grade 5. Must be included in calculations. SLINGER (3) found the frame for the second consecutive time when narrowly beaten into third last time out (24.66) over 425m at this track.

Comments

Hasn't shown any early speed lately and drifts back in his races. The latest effort was a 4.5 lengths fourth over 425m at Traralgon. Not one of the leading chances on this occasion.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fifth last time out over 450m at Ballarat. Other runners look much more appealing.

Has hit the frame the last two starts, the latest at double figure odds when third (24.66) over 425m at this track. Has a low draw. Solid top-three prospects.

Ran a better race when third behind Tess Cabang at Shepparton last start over 390m (23.32). Has to be respected.

Latest effort finished 5th over 425m at this track beaten 8 lengths (24.87) behind Canya Ignite in a Grade 5 on August 12. Looks well placed and should prove hard to beat.
