Bendigo Race 5

Mannings Greyhound Complex

Prize Money: $1,530

POPPY RICK (2) doesn't win out of turn. Hit the board with a minor placing last time when second (23.15) at Warragul. Expected to be in this for a long way. GAZING COLLINDA (1) last raced on January 25 when eighth (29.61) over 500m at this track in a Grade 4/5. Tends to go well off this box draw. Overall strike-rate good and can feature with the right run. SMILING BEE (3) has ability and can feature with the right run after missing a cheque here most recently.

Missed the frame when eighth (29.61) at this track at last run and returns here after a 11 weeks break. Looks a winning chance while fresh.

Latest effort finished 2nd in a Grade 5 on April 3 over 400m at Warragul behind Holtorf Bale beaten 3.5 lengths (23.15). Found one better last time. Well placed and worth following up.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when third (26.53) at big odds over 460m at Geelong. Has to overcome a wide draw and will need to find best.
