Bendigo (G) Race 5

Prize Money: $1,530

MILITANT STORM (3) box seated before sticking on well to finish 1.75 lengths away in second (24.50) at this track in a Grade 5 over 425m. Makes plenty of appeal. SMILING BEE (2) turned in a fair run last time from the squeeze finishing fourth by 4 lengths (24.64). A forward showing wouldn't surprise. MORAINE MIA (1) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing sixth (24.83) in a Grade 5 at this track. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings three times from five attempts. Key runner on best form. RED SHIRAZ (8) is a last-start placegetter at this track and distance - solid claims again.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 425m. Last start finished 4th over 425m at this track beaten 4 lengths (24.64) behind Frank Grimes in a Grade 5 on October 28. Thereabouts of late and rates highly this line-up. Expected to be in the finish.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but bumped into one better when runner up (24.50) at this track over 425m. Close to the speed and boxed on well at the latest run. Key chance again.

Was out of placings last time (26.51) at Shepparton in a Grade 5, finishing eighth and beaten 10 lengths. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed four times. Looks a place chance at best.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Ballarat over 390m in 22.74. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fourth over 300m at Healesville at Grade 5 level. Not keen this time.

Missed the frame last time but finished in the minors at big odds two back when second (24.68) over 425m at this track. Has to overcome a wide draw but is in the mix.
