Bendigo Race 7

Garrards Horse & Hound Pace

Prize Money: $6,000

KORENGAL VALLEY (3) drew poorly and raced wide last start so prepared to overlook that result. Came from this barrier to place at this venue prior and his lone win came at this distance. Worth another chance. MAXBECA (4) has been freshened since he pressed forward to find the lead from a wide draw last start but couldn't go on with the job. Nice effort for second at Charlton prior and has the speed to push forward from this barrier. WORTH THE EXTRA (6) faded last time but did well to place at Cranbourne prior and is proven at this distance. IM BIG BUSINESS (5) has won a trial since the resuming effort last start so can do better.

Didn't do much last start, 7th (Fr2) over 2150m at this track, beaten 18 m by Home And Dry (2:38.10) in NR 41 to 46 on March 25 at $31. Before that 11th (Fr6) over 2100m after showing early speed at Charlton, beaten 17 m by Muselet (2:34.30) in NR 40 to 49 on March 15 at $31. Others make more appeal.

Last start was well beaten into seventh after showing early speed, behind Ima Tiggy Tiger at Maryborough over 2190m in a NR up to 49 on February 11 at $5.50. Performed better the start before with a game effort when 2nd (Fr3) over 1609m after showing early speed at Charlton was 3rd-3.9 at the bell, beaten 1.4 m by Lord Verde (1:56.80) in NR 41 to 45 on February 2 at $5. Capable of playing a major role.

Failed to impress last start; broke in score up and was out of position at the start 7th (Sr1) over 1690m at Kilmore beaten 60 m by Allgood Vinnie (2:04.50) in NR up to 45 on March 26 at $41. Showed ability the race before when he won by a head (Fr5) at this track (1:59.70) beating Seaside Lady in 4yo+ MAIDEN on March 18 at $3 at the bell was 4th-6.2. Can be about the money.
