Bendigo Race 2

Prize Money: $2,535

TALTARNI GREY (4) is an Alan Bayliss-trained newcomer by Bernardo out of Have A Roadie. Start all important from the squeeze box. Market to provide the best guide to his chances. MORAINE MERLIN (5) makes his debut where he is drawn to need a little luck early. Can kick off with a good run. BOLD AVENGER (8) profiles nicely for her debut but has a wide box to overcome. Among the leading players. AUSSIE MIRAGE (6) boasts a solid place strike-rate although still a maiden.

Turned in a fair debut run over 390m at Ballarat where she settled off the pace and battled on to finish fourth (23.29) and beaten 11 lengths. Further improved and drops down to the inside box this time. Likely to struggle this time.

Inside draw could be an advantage. Last start finished eighth over 390m at Ballarat, beaten 16 lengths (23.57) behind Quiet Achiever in a Maiden on September 30. Prepared to risk on this occasion.

Improved sharply when third behind Paw Quiz at Geelong last start over 400m (23.13). Likely to play a major role.

Turned in a fair debut over 390m at Shepparton where she was well back early but wound up late to finish fifth (23.03) and beaten 5.5 lengths. Should be further improved. Happy to risk this time.
