Bendigo Race 6

Pink Diamond Rookie Distance Ht2

Prize Money: $3,940

MIDNIGHT PHANTOM (6) missed the frame last time when fourth (42.39) at Sandown but prior to that had two placings in a row. Form at the trip sound including two wins. Can bounce back. APPLE ROSE (1) jumped well from this draw last time and was prominent throughout before moving up to score (34.67) at Sandown over 595m in a Restricted WIN. Should be in this for a long way. LAKEVIEW IAN (4) is having his first look at this course. In the money last start when third (36.77) at Sale over 640m. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Bold showing expected. ARCHER SWEET (8) is another with top-three prospects.

Solid performance after racing just off the speed to win by half a length at Sandown over 595m (34.67) beating Irish Zoe in Restricted WIN on May 25. Comes through a solid form race. Expected to feature.

Hasn't produced too much recently, and faces tougher opposition here. Needs to do more. Others better.

Had been in consistent form with four minors on end before missing the frame last start when sixth (30.17) at Sandown. Has a low draw but looks safely held.

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but had to settle for a minor placing when a neck third over 640m at Sale, clocking 36.77. Capable of a good showing.

Placed only run here over this trip. Last start finished last in a Grade 5 on May 28 over 715m at Sandown behind Power Squeeze beaten 5 lengths (42.39). Thereabouts of late and rates highly this line-up. Expected to be in the finish.
