Bendigo Race 1

Battlers Cup Ht1

Prize Money: $1,530

CHAPPY'S THIEF (2) turned spotting a big start finishing sixth (22.64) last time in a Grade 5 at Ballarat. Has a good record here including two wins. Strong form has emerged from her last run. Has ability and looks hard to stop. IMPRESS SIMBA (1) was a little disappointing last start at Healesville when 8th (19.98) over 350m. Goes very well at course and distance boasting two wins. Likely to be thereabouts. CATCH MY DRIFT (3) has been a little hard to follow, finishing out of the placings latest but was in winning form two back scoring in a Grade 5 at Ballarat. Rates a winning chance on best. TINKER PETE (5) was in the money last time at Warrnambool (22.52) in a Grade 5, finishing a 4.5 lengths third. Has already won two times from this draw.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Ballarat over 450m. Last start finished 6th over 450m at Ballarat beaten 7 lengths (26.12) behind Star's Hope in a Grade 5 on September 23. Has a very good strike-rate out of box 3, scoring two times. Go close.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when third (22.52) over 390m at Warrnambool. Squeeze draw to overcome. Worth including.

Should get a clear run from the wide draw. Wasn't impressive last start but does have a great record at this track and distance, not far away last start. Right in the mix again.
