Bendigo Race 12

Sportsbet Nobody Does It Easier

Stake: $3,218

TREFUSIS (4) finished well back at Hobart last time when a 6 length fifth (26.62) but scored four back at Hobart (25.74). Has a solid record over this journey. The form out of last race has been strong. Can atone. SOFIA RIOT (3) is going well, finishing in the placings twice in a row. Not beaten far last time when a 1.75 lengths second (24.06) in a Grade 5 at this track. Rates a winning chance on best. SHIMA STRIPE (1) is a consistent runner who is new here. Comes into this a winner last time from box three where he scored by 0.8 lengths at Healesville (19.53). Leading chance again. SHIMA LITE (2) has been in the placings at his last two runs, most recently when third (30.79) in a Grade 5 over 525m at The Meadows.

Comes off a (19.53) win last time, scoring by 0.8 lengths in a Grade 5 over 350m at Healesville. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and eight places from 14 starts. Looks hard to beat with even luck.

Finished off last campaign with a fifth (26.62) in a GR 5 at Hobart. Makes return after a 12 weeks break. Yet to win but has placed from two first-up runs. Suited here and sure to go close fresh.

Has finished fifth at this circuit at the last two appearances, most recently when beaten 7 lengths behind Leap Of Faith over 425m. Comes through a good form race. Looks a definite chance.
