Bendigo Race 7

Grv Vicbred Series Ht1

Prize Money: $2,925

HERE COMES BILLY (1) crossed over from out wide but caught the leaders turning before drawing clear to score (24.55) at Sale in a Grade 5 over 435m. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Hard to fault the current string of winning form and can continue his winning ways. CHEVRON STROLL (4) skirted wide from an outside draw last start and found the front, leading throughout to win (22.05) at Ballarat in a Grade 5 over 390m. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings two times from four attempts. One of the prime contenders. PATRIOT CILLA (3) was well back early but attacked the line strongly to finish second (22.35) at Ballarat in Grade 5. Missed the frame only look here. Some good form is emerging from her last run. Can feature again. REIKO ZOOM (8) jumps at a shorter journey and still warrants respect.

Continued winning form with another impressive display after running them ragged notching his five straight wins at Sale over 435m (24.55). Rates a leading player on recent form and will go close again.

Was out of the money last start at Warrnambool over 450m which ended a winning run. Not keen, needs to lift.

Got back last start and could only manage sixth but before that won by 2.5 lengths at Sandown (30.13) beating Moraine Bluey in a Grade 5 on August 31. Solid claims this line-up.
