Bendigo (G) Race 5

Mannings Greyhound Complex (300+ Rank)

Stake: $1,652

DERNANCOURT (4) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fourth (24.84) last time in a Grade 5 at this track. Should bounce back. THANK YOU TOMMY (1) is first up since finishing seventh (25.99) in a Grade 5 at Ballarat over 450m four-and-a-half months ago. Form here at this distance is sound. Overall strike-rate good and can feature with the right run. SPOILER ALERT (6) was never in contention last time after settling well back at this track, but prior to that won by 1.3 lengths at Shepparton (22.43) beating Tess Cabang in a Grade 5 on May 15. One of the main contenders. DEMONIC SPIRIT (2) gets a chance to redeem an unplaced effort here last start.

Returns from a four-and-a-half months spell after being tipped out on the back of a seventh (25.99) over 450m at Ballarat. Will need some luck to feature.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (24.80) in a Grade 5, finishing a 7 length fourth. Yet to win but has placed two times from this draw. Looks a leading chance.
