Bendigo Race 9

Braidies Tavern (300+Rank)

Prize Money: $1,530

KRAKEN MARKET (5) is mixing form lately, finishing out of the placings last time at Shepparton but was a T3 RSTW winner two back at this track. Look for sharp improvement here. BLACK HAWK (6) is long overdue for a win, finishing in the minors at his last three starts, the latest jumping from this same box when third in a Rank Limit - Restricted Win at this track (24.61). Rates a leading chance. WAVE IN SEA (1) was below best at his last couple, the latest finishing fifth at The Meadows, but was among the placings at Shepparton three back. Can hit the frame this time. KRAKEN ZACK (3) can sneak into the finish with the right run.
