Bendigo Race 6

Grays Bendigo

Stake: $4,262

BALLAN BRUMBY (7) made light work of a wide draw last time with a strong early sectional and clocking 23.97 in a 4.5 lengths win at this track over 425m. Expected to be right there at the finish again. OUR REGARDS (1) comes off an average run last start when seventh at Shepparton over 450m behind Paw Roxy (25.73) in a Grade 4/5. Placed at his previous run. Is yet to miss the placings from this draw, including three wins, from six starts. Expected to feature in the finish. MCIVOR ALFY (2) had been racing well with a Grade 5 win three back then placed next time before missing the frame latest at The Meadows. This looks easier and expected to improve sharply. RED ED (8) profiles nicely over this trip.

Dual acceptor. Missed the frame latest (25.73) when seventh over 450m at Shepparton in a Grade 4/5. Boasts three wins and three places from six starts off the draw. Looks a key chance on best form.

Missed the frame last start when fourth and beaten 6 lengths at The Meadows. Form solid prior to that including a win at this track three back. Well placed here and expected to bounce back.

Got back last start and could only manage eighth but before that won by 2.5 lengths at this track (28.40) beating Urano Bale in a Grade 5 on April 4. Has ability and worth including.

Good effort to win last start by 2 lengths over 545m at Ballarat in a handy (31.48), beating Ablett Flyer. Will find this a bit tougher, others have better credentials.

Impressive performance to post a big 4.5 lengths victory in a Grade 5 last start at this track, clocking a solid 23.97 over the 425m trip. In form and rates on top again.
