Bendigo Advertiser (2-3 Wins)

Prize Money: $1,740

NICKY'S SECRET (1) improved her time on first attempt here at the trip with a 3.5 lengths third in 28.86 latest. Happy to have her on top here. SHREK'S BROTHER (4) produced a modest effort most recently when seventh at Sandown over 515m behind Valedictorian (30.97) in a Mix 6/7. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. ROCK SHOW (3) was safely held last time out, finishing eighth at this track over 500m behind McIvor Jewels (30.27) in a Grade 5. Should be in this for a long way. KENNETH BALE (6) comes into calculations after placing at this track and distance most recently.

Suited by inside box. Last start finished 3rd over 500m at this track beaten 3.5 lengths (28.86) behind Cornhill Raven in a Mix 6/7 on June 21. More than capable and has to be included.

Missed the frame latest (26.20) when fifth over 450m at Shepparton in a Grade 6. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and three minors. Looking to others.

Won two starts back at this track over 500m in 29.08. Followed that up with a minor placing over 500m at this track at Grade 5 a week ago. Solid chance with even luck.
