Bendigo Race 1

Happy Easter From Bgra Veterans (200+)

Prize Money: $2,925

GREMLIN (4) produced a modest effort most recently when seventh at this track over 425m behind Imani (25.70) in a Mix 3/4. Placed at his previous run. Form from his last run is proving strong. Looks the one to beat on his best form. AVIANNA (3) tends to drift back and work into the race, finishing out of the placings two back before charging home into the minors latest when third (22.65) in a Grade 5 at Warragul last time. Has a good record at this journey. Form from her last run is proving to be solid. Can feature again. VALKYRIE (1) scored by 1.5 lengths last time (22.22) in a Special conditions Veteran race over 390m at Shepparton. Has seven wins already from this draw. Can feature with the right run. MAXED OUT (8) picked up a cheque last time and is in the mix again.

Strong performance leading throughout to score by 1.5 lengths in a Special conditions Veteran race last start at Shepparton, recording a decent 22.22 over the 390m journey. Can measure up again if runs up to that effort.

Form has been solid with minor placings at her last three starts. Last time out finished 3rd in a Grade 5 on April 18 over 350m at Healesville behind Hard Press beaten 4.5 lengths (19.71). Looks a solid contender.
