Bendigo Race 6

Jarrod Larkin Concreting

Prize Money: $3,360

PAW ISLA (6) had a tough draw to overcome and was game in defeat when only a nose from Prince Laroi in second (23.93) at this track. Has performed well from this box with a win and two minor placings to her name from three starts. Can find winning form. NIGEL DEVERE (7) finished well back at this track last time when a 6 length seventh (24.23) but scored five back at The Meadows (29.95). Has a strong winning record here at this journey. Comes through a solid form race last start. Expected to run well. KRAKEN WESTERN (1) has an impressive record and comes into this a big winner last time in quick time, scoring by 4.5 lengths (21.95) at Shepparton. Brilliant beginner who should be leading the way here. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. One of the leading chances again. GO HOME GIRL (3) is always a threat when she races at this journey.

Strong performance leading throughout to score by 4.5 lengths in a Grade 5 last start at Shepparton, clocking an outstanding 21.95 for the 390m trip. Should be in this for a long way.

Has finished last in her last couple of starts, most recently at The Meadows over 525m. This looks too tough.

In the money last time at this track (24.13) in a Grade 5, finishing a 1.1 lengths second. Has performed well off the draw with a win and two places from five starts. Looks suited here and can measure up on best.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fourth last time out over 450m at Shepparton. Happy enough to avoid.

Well supported last time and gave a sight after a fast early split but could manage only the minor money, finishing a nose second (23.93) over 425m at this track. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last time despite being beaten. Follow up.

Was out of placings last time (24.23) at this track in a Free For All, finishing seventh and beaten 6 lengths. Has three wins and three placings from nine starts from the draw. Key chance and should go close.
