Bendigo (G) Race 13

Bendigo Race 13

Prize Money: $1,530

LEKTRA NICK (1) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing sixth (25.34) in a Grade 5 at this track. Expected to feature in the finish. JUNGLE FIREBALL (7) has been hard to follow lately, running sixth (26.79) last time but prior to that ran very well when placed at Geelong. This looks easier and expected to improve sharply. HOT CROSS (6) is likely to have admirers.

Drawn the inside. Most recent effort finished 6th over 425m at this track beaten 7 lengths (25.34) behind Sabatini in a Grade 5 on August 27. Major threat on best form.

Was out of placings last time (26.39) at Shepparton in a Grade 5, finishing eighth and beaten 12 lengths. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed four times. Others appear better placed.
