Bendigo (G) Race 12

One More Race To Go (1-2 Wins) (300+)

Prize Money: $1,530

SEKOLA BLUE (8) showed little early speed at her last couple, the latest finishing eighth (23.52) in a Rank Limit - Grade 7 at Shepparton. Has winning claims on her best figures. HARD LAUNCH (1) turned in a good run last time, finishing in the placings (25.70) at Shepparton in a T3 RSTW. Lines up from box 1 for the first time. Leading player again. RADIATE (2) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing fourth (24.54) in a T3 Grade 6 at this track. Form at the trip sound including two wins. Great chance to atone. LOVE YOU (7) is hard to fault of late and is a strong top-three hope again.

Comments

Well supported last time and rocketed out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but had to settle for the minor money, finishing a neck second (25.70) over 450m at Shepparton. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Follow up.

Inside draw could be an advantage. Last start finished fourth on May 13 over 425m at this track behind Taltarni Lane, beaten 4 lengths (24.54) in a T3 Grade 6. Solid showing expected.

Good effort to win last start by a head over 425m at this track in a handy (24.45), beating Greysynd Jain. Will find this a bit tougher, hard to entertain this time.
