Bendigo Race 8

Battlers Cup (250+Rank) Ht5

Prize Money: $1,530

SERRATED EDGE (8) turned in a plain performance last time when fifth at The Meadows over 525m behind Heathcote Rupee (31.02) in a Grade 5. Solid formlines coming through his last run. Has ability and is a key runner. RED TURTLE (6) has a fair record and proved too strong last time to win by 0.8 lengths at this track in a handy 24.34 beating Hard Launch. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. One of the prime contenders. CRUISIN' GRAE (1) was midfield throughout and finished there last time when 5th (23.25) at Geelong. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings three times from six starts. Great chance to atone. CANDY POPS (2) was out of the money here last time out but can bounce back.

Comments

Didn't make the placings last time at Geelong (23.25) in a Grade 5, finishing a 5 length fifth. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed three times. Looks suited here and rates a leading chance.

Safely held last time over 425m at this track but was a 0.7 lengths winner two back over 425m at this track. Capable of taking this out.

Solid performance to win by 2 lengths at this track over 425m (24.70) beating Hartland Ash in Maiden on September 16. Recorded three placings in a row before he was rewarded with a win last time. Expected to run well again.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 500m in 28.66. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when seventh over 500m at this track at Grade 5 level. Tipped to improve sharply. Winning chance on best form.

Good performance after racing just off the speed to win by 0.8 lengths at this track over 425m (24.34) beating Hard Launch in Bottom Up - Grade 6 on September 9. The form from last run stacks up well. Hard to beat.
