Bendigo Race 5

Prize Money: $3,360

CHAPPY'S TOTEM (2) was out of the placings last time but recorded an impressive Grade 5 win (23.84) at this track three runs back. Can make amends this time. CRIMINAL MINDS (6) jumped from a low draw and boxed on well to finish second last time, beaten 1.3 lengths (22.35) behind Silent Knight at Ballarat. Some good form is emerging from his last run. Must be included in calculations. PRINCE LAROI (3) has a strong winning strike-rate over this track and trip with two wins and a placing from four tries. Placed last time (25.57) at Ballarat in a Grade 5, finishing third and beaten 5.5 lengths. Suited here and expected to run well. DAD'S SURPRISE (8) should be thereabouts after narrowly missing most recently.

Flew the lids with a fast early split last time, hitting the frame with a 1.3 lengths second (22.35) over 390m at Ballarat and making it two placings on end. Some good form is emerging from that last run. Expected to prove hard to beat.
