Bendigo Race 13

Prize Money: $1,530

SANDY CABANG (1) turned in a modest effort most recently when seventh at Healesville over 300m behind Paddy Almighty (17.57) in a Grade 5. Was in the money prior to that. The form out of her last race has been franked. Has ability and looks hard to stop. HALEIGH VELLA (6) was below best at her last start when 6th at Shepparton following a third place finish (22.62) at Ballarat two back. Solid record here at the distance winning four races. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. BERRY BLUE EVIE (2) stuck on well last time to finish 1.75 lengths back in second (17.30) at Healesville in a Grade 5 over 300m. Winning chance. PAW VALENTINA (3) must be included in calculations.

Poor last start but ran a better race two back when fourth over 425m at this track. Can't recommend him in this.

Latest effort finished 6th over 390m at Shepparton beaten 12 lengths (23.19) behind Reema Bale in a Grade 5 on April 3. Has been racing well. Well placed here and looks a leading contender.
