Bendigo Race 8

Allen Abbott Memorial

Prize Money: $1,740

LES NORTON (3) was responsible for a modest effort most recently when fifth at this track over 500m behind Aston Castle (28.74) in a Grade 5. Better than the latest effort and deserves another chance. KUNAMA NAMADGI (6) has a strong record this track and trip including two wins from four starts. Missed the frame latest (28.71) when fourth over 500m at this track in a Grade 5. Looks well placed here and among the chances. OPAL WHISPER (7) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing seventh (28.80) in a Grade 5 at this track. Form here sound including four wins. Great chance to atone. WYONG KNOXVILLE (2) can play a role in the finish without surprising.

Comments

Has shown little speed out of the boxes and tends to spot them a start in her races, The latest effort was a 14 length eighth over 450m at Ballarat. Happy to risk this time.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage seventh last time out over 500m at this track. Be tough to make an impression against this lot.
