Bendigo Race 9

Brian Jennings Memorial (1-2 Wins)

Prize Money: $1,530

HIGH FIVE INDI (1) turned in a better effort at The Meadows last start, finishing third behind Fromelles Poppy (30.82) in a Mix 6/7. Turned chasing the leaders but kept coming. Strong form has emerged from her last run. Expected to feature in the finish again. RAE'S RAINBOW (4) made light work of a wide draw last time with a strong early sectional and clocking 24.42 in a 0.8 lengths win at this track over 425m. The form out of her last race has been franked. One of the leading chances again. GRAY GROUPER (8) had a tough draw to overcome and was game in defeat when only a neck from Beast Ablaze in second (24.33) at this track. Leading chance. LIGHTHEARTEDNESS (3) surprised many when in the placings last start - deserves some thought.

Hit the ground running last time with a fast early split and never headed, leading throughout to win by 0.8 lengths (24.42) over 425m at this track. Makes plenty of appeal. Go close again.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by a head in 24.97, beating Cards Night. Last start finished last on March 10 over 390m at Ballarat behind Kate's Rift beaten 8 lengths (22.72) in a T3 RSTW. Tempted to look elsewhere.

Good effort to win last start by 2.75 lengths over 390m at Ballarat in a handy (22.75), beating Rothwell Jack. Will find this a bit tougher, happy enough to dismiss in this field.
