Bendigo Race 8

Ag Tyres And Wheels Easter Cup

Stake: $11,082

JETSTREAM ICON (3) goes very well this course and distance starting five times for two wins and two minors. Recorded a 7 length win (23.53) in a Grade 4/5 last time at this track. Makes strong appeal on best. ARI GOLD (1) turned in a better effort at Ballarat last start, finishing third behind Rapid Heart (25.44) in a Grade 5 H. Turned chasing the leaders but kept coming. Boasts a strong record from this draw with three wins and three minor placings from seven starts. Expected to feature again. TANNER BALE (6) is a promising dog in the frame at 13 of 36 starts including 11 wins and was a last start winner (30.22) over 525m at The Meadows. Form at the trip sound including six wins. Rates a winning chance on best. AWESOME AVENGER (2) has strong credentials over this journey.

In the money last time at Ballarat (25.44) in a Grade 5 H, finishing a 1.3 lengths third. Goes very well off the draw boasting three wins and three places from seven starts. With a clean break looks hard to beat.

Hasn't threatened at his last couple but he does have good record over this track and distance. Didn't show up last start but give him another chance.

Lines up chasing three wins on end after scoring over 425m at this track in 23.53 last time, set up by a fast early sectional. Most reliable when jumping from this box. Leading chance.

Did a good job two starts back at Shepparton to win by a neck in 25.44, beating Westside Wizard. Last start finished 5th on April 12 over 525m at The Meadows behind Shayna Bale beaten 7 lengths (30.46) in a Grade 5. Not going well enough. Needs to lift.

Good effort to win last start by a long neck over 500m at this track in a handy (28.17), beating Tammy Mcivor. Will find this a bit tougher, can't recommend against this lot.
