Bendigo Race 8

Grv Vicbred Series Final

Prize Money: $9,575

CHEVRON STROLL (7) had a tough draw to overcome and was game in defeat when only 1.5 lengths from HERE COMES BILLY in second (23.87) at this track. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Can find winning form. HERE COMES BILLY (4) scored well last start as odds-on favourite by 1.5 lengths at this track in a handy 23.78 beating CHEVRON STROLL. Awkwardly drawn but has a good record over this journey. Has a solid record from this box including two wins and a minor placing. Hard to fault his form and makes plenty of appeal again. MY NAME'S EDEN (8) ran a slick 23.96 when winning over 425m at this track last start. This tougher but looks a leading chance again. YONDU BALE (2) is always hard to beat when he races at this trip.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but had to contend with second when clocking 24.25 over 425m at this track. Has ability and can run well.

Had been in solid form before missing the frame at the latest appearance when fourth (24.37) at this track. Has a wide draw to navigate and looks tested this line up.

Hit the frame last time at this track but the start prior was an eye-catching winner after leading throughout, scoring by 4.5 lengths in a Grade 5 at Ballarat and clocking an outstanding 22.05 for the 390m trip. Hard to top on the time from two back.

Solid performance to post a big 4.5 lengths win at this track over 425m (23.96) beating Disparage in Grade 5 H on September 11. Should be prominent.
