Bendigo Race 8

Hanrahan Plumbing Ht3 (1-4 Wins)

Prize Money: $2,925

MR. PERSUADER (2) is a consistent runner who is new here. Fast away and led throughout to score a 2.5 lengths win over 390m at Warrnambool (22.16). Won at his only start from this draw. In great recent form and expected to measure up again. PYRENEES ACE (8) goes very well this trip starting eight times for three wins and three minors. Below best last time at this track (24.78) in a Grade 5, finishing a 12 length fifth. Can hit the frame with the right run. DELICIOUS (1) ran below best last time finishing fifth (25.92) over 450m at Warrnambool from Box 6. Key runner on best form. GREYSYND SAMMY (6) placed in impressive time last start - cannot be ignored.

Eye-catching performance showing plenty of speed to score by 2.5 lengths in a Grade 5 last start at Warrnambool, clocking a slick 22.16 over the 390m trip. Has the ability and looks a key chance again.

Good effort last time when third (19.38) over 350m at Healesville. Will need a little luck early from the draw. Has to do a bit more.

In the money last time at The Meadows (35.01) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 4.5 lengths third. Has two minors from three starts from box 6. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts.

Did a good job two starts back at Ballarat to win by 1.5 lengths in 22.52, beating Yaku Bale. Last start finished 4th in a T3 Grade 6 on April 8 over 390m at Ballarat behind Squeegee's Ride beaten 5.5 lengths (23.12). Will not find this easy. Not keen.
