Bendigo Race 4

Battlers Cup Ht4

Prize Money: $1,530

INVICTUS SHARON (4) was below best at her last couple but among the placings three back at this track where she ran quick time (28.50). Will find this more suitable and can atone. TAKE A SHINE (1) has mixed form a little and missed the frame the last two but was a Grade 5 winner three back (22.54) at Ballarat over 390m. Key player on best and worth another try. OH CRIKEY (2) was safely held last time out, finishing eighth at Geelong over 460m behind Tuff Toby (26.97) in a Grade 5. Was a winner the start prior. Deserves plenty of respect. SASSY SPICE (8) has claims again if she runs up to the latest effort.

Missed the frame latest (22.51) when fifth over 390m at Shepparton in a Grade 5. Goes very well from the draw boasting three victories and five places from 15 starts. Key chance and should go close.

Could only manage sixth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest when second (25.71) over 450m at Ballarat. Has to overcome a wide draw and prefer each-way.
