Bendigo Race 8

Ag Tyres And Wheels Easter Cup

Prize Money: $10,075

BAROOGA JIM (6) scored (27.96) last time out at this track adding to an already respectable career. Form here sound including two wins. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in his latest win. Looks a key chance if runs up to latest figure. HE'S MAGIC (2) last seen when scorching around the 545m at Ballarat in 30.86 for a neck win. In form and must include in calculations. NIGEL DEVERE (5) struggled for best form latest, finishing 5th (29.80) in a OPEN at Mt Gambier. Has never been out of the money this course and distance including two wins. Cannot be taken lightly. ASTON SUMMIT (3) is a course and distance winner with definite claims.

Missed the frame latest (35.39) when sixth over 595m at Sandown in a Grade 5. Has performed well off the draw with a win and four places from nine starts. Has ability but looking elsewhere this time.

Talented type with an excellent strike rate at this journey. Has been prominent in the run and duly saluted at his last couple, most recently over 500m at this track in a handy 27.86 beating It's Mikado Time. Can bring up a hat-trick.

Missed the frame latest (29.88) when fourth over 515m at Sandown in a Grade 5. Has one win and four placings from seven starts from the draw. Will need the right run.
