Bendigo Race 4

Bgra Rank And File Cup Final (300+Rank)

Stake: $8,058

RED SHIRAZ (1) showed strong early pace and proved too slick around this track over 425m in 24.06, claiming a Grade 5 H by 4 lengths. Winner at his latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. The hardest to beat again. STAR SIXTY SIX (6) is a capable type and proved too strong last time to win by 2 lengths at this track in a handy 24.23 beating Coconut Carter. Got the money at his only try from this box. Likely to be in the finish. STARSHIP ATLAS (4) won comfortably last time scoring by 6 lengths at this track after jumping from box 1 (23.91). Will need some luck early after drawing a tricky box here. Expecting another bold showing. MY OPIE (3) recorded a slick time in winning last time. Right in the mix.

Backs up after winning by 0.7 lengths at this track (24.14) beating Ruxton Shine in a Grade 5 H on April 15 five days ago. Likely to find this a lot tougher and she needs to find another gear.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early split and went straight to the front, scoring an all the way win (23.91) over 425m at this track. Sure to be about the mark.

Good effort to win last start by 3 lengths over 425m at this track in a handy (24.15), beating Jackpot Cash. Will find this a bit tougher, be tough to make an impression against this lot.

Expected Early Speed:Midfield
