Bendigo Race 9

Braidies Tavern

Prize Money: $3,360

LADY GUNAI (5) was in the minor money with a good 23.97, finishing second in a Grade 5 at this track last start. In form and looks the one to beat. AIR SPEED (6) goes very well this trip starting 30 times for 11 wins and eight minors. Missed the frame latest (23.68) when fourth over 410m at Horsham in a Mix 3/4. Makes strong appeal on best. BAROOGA QUEEN (2) turned in a fair 4th placed finish last time at Shepparton over 390m (22.59). Form here at the trip sound including four wins. One of the main contenders. KIWI GEORGE (7) can fill a top-three spot.

Form has been solid with minor placings at his last three starts. Last time out finished 3rd on October 2 over 425m at this track behind Midnight Thunder beaten 1.5 lengths (24.53) in a Special conditions race. Deserves a win and is expected to run well again.

Finished fifth (30.07) last start at Sandown. Prior to that had recorded three minor placings in a row. Tends to run fairly well off the tricky draw but will need to find best.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but had to contend with second when clocking 23.97 over 425m at this track. Boxed on well to finish runner-up last time. Leading player.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Shepparton over 390m. Last start finished 4th in a Mix 3/4 on October 6 over 410m at Horsham behind Barooga King beaten 5.5 lengths (23.68). Has been around the mark at his last couple and should make his presence felt.

Didn't make the placings last time at Healesville (19.87) in a Grade 5 FIN, finishing a 8 length sixth. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed three times. Makes appeal on best.

Comments

Good effort to win last start by a nose over 425m at this track in a handy (24.26), beating Bed Time Daisy. Will find this a bit tougher, prepared to just watch this time.

Expected Early Speed:Midfield
