Bendigo Race 6

Rsn Grey Areas - Wednesday & Friday

Stake: $3,696

CHEAP RED WINE (2) has a strong winning strike-rate here having won three of five starts. Comes off a (19.07) win last time, scoring by one length in a Free For All over 350m at Healesville. Looks the one to beat with even luck. JETSTREAM ICON (8) is looking to continue his winning ways off a lightning 21.77 win at Shepparton. Top win latest and can measure up again. NEED A PILOT (6) turned in a modest effort most recently when sixth at Mt Gambier over 400m behind Paw Ignite (23.59) in a Grade 3/4/5. Can do much better this time. TRICKY RIDDLES (3) collected a minor prize last start in a close contest - must be considered.

Was a winner three back at Geelong then finished in the minors before missing the frame last time when fourth (26.03) at Geelong. Has ability but will need everything to go right.

Showed strong pace early but found one better when a neck second over 400m Warragul in 22.94. In form and another win would not surprise.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by a long neck in 24.31, beating Paw Kattia. Last start finished last in a Grade 5 on April 8 over 410m at Horsham behind Paw Manny beaten 6 lengths (23.76). Happy enough to dismiss in this field.

Most recent effort finished 6th in a Grade 3/4/5 on April 6 over 400m at Mt Gambier behind Paw Ignite beaten 7 lengths (23.59). Has claims on best form.

In the money last time at this track (24.20) in a Mix 3/4, finishing a head third. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed three times. Tough line-up and may struggle.
