Bendigo Race 5

Prydes Easifeed Trot

Prize Money: $4,000

RAKERO WARRIOR (8) came from wider on this row to get home here last time, his second success in three outings since joining the Hutchins yard. No harm in drawing here with the sprint lane to rely upon. Can win again. FAITH FULL (5) scored a Ballarat win three back and was good again last time when 4.5 metres from the winner in second at Shepparton. Eases back in grade. Major player. FRANKYTHEFRENCHMAN (4) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 6.7 metres from this barrier at Melton. MAJOR MAX (7) has been racing well from the second line including a Kilmore win three back and a Ballarat placing last time. Something for the Multiples: RAKERO WARRIOR NZ (8)
