Bendigo Race 9

The Prospector Ht1

Prize Money: $3,360

KURNAI BOLT (1) was quickly into stride and found the front last start to record an all-the-way win (29.97) at The Meadows in a Grade 5 over 525m. Hard to go past. DOONGALLA ROCKET (8) quickly into stride and found the front, leading until late when second (27.64) at Horsham in a Grade 4/5 over 485m. Was a winner at his only start from this draw. Expected to be in the finish again. ASTON FONTAINE (2) had a tough draw to overcome and was game in defeat when only 1.4 lengths from Blazin' Fries in second (22.60) at Geelong. Form from his last run is proving strong. Expecting another good run. PYRENEES ACE (4) is always hard to beat when he races at this trip.

Nice debut win two starts ago then last start finished 3rd on June 11 over 390m at Ballarat behind Major Lightyear beaten 4 lengths (22.59) in a Mix 6/7. Not one of the leading chances on this occasion.

On debut last start won by 2.5 lengths at this track (24.45) beating Paw Bennett in a Maiden on June 20. Will find this tougher so others are preferred.

Comments

Hit the ground running last time with a strong early split and tried to lead throughout but had to settle for the minors when second (27.64) at Horsham over 485m. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Pay to follow.
