Sportsbet Bendigo Cup Ht6

Prize Money: $7,325

DADDY COOL (8) has an excellent record here having never missed the placings in three starts, including two wins. Comes off a (22.52) win last time, scoring by 0.8 lengths in a Grade 4/5 over 390m at Shepparton. Looks a key chance on best form. MEPUNGA SCARLETT (4) brought up her 13th career win last start at Horsham (23.23). Has a strong record here at this journey including two wins. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in her latest win. One of the key runners again. CUMULATE (1) boxed on well to finish second last time, beaten a neck (16.26) behind Impetuously at Healesville. Comes out of a solid form race last start. Hard to beat again. PAW MATIC (7) is new to this course but can play a major role.

Comments

Was in the placings last time but prior to that was a strong winner scoring by 2.75 lengths in a Special conditions race at Healesville and clocking an excellent 16.52 for the 300m trip. Top win two back and has claims here.

Was in the placings last time but prior to that was an impressive winner after leading throughout, scoring by 5 lengths in a Free For All at Warragul and clocking a brilliant 22.60 for the 400m trip. Harder here but worth including in multiples.

Good effort to win last start by 2.25 lengths over 460m at Warragul in a handy (25.57), beating Flaming Smooth. Will find this a bit tougher, prepared to overlook.

Eye-catching performance racing just off the speed and going on to score by a head in a Mix 3/4 last start at Horsham, clocking a solid 23.23 over the 410m trip. Has the ability and expected to go close again.

Scored by 0.8 lengths last time (22.52) in a Grade 4/5 over 390m at Shepparton. Goes very well from the draw boasting four places from six starts. Looks well placed and should feature.
