Bendigo Race 2

Pink Diamond Challenger Short Course Ht6

Stake: $3,159

HOLLYWOOD FRANKY (1) had the drop on the lead and went on to be beaten 3.5 lengths into third (22.67) at Shepparton in a Grade 5 over 390m. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings two times from three starts. Can measure up this time. PRESS START (4) is progressing well and looks close to another win after hitting the frame from Box 7 last run (25.79) at Shepparton. Can feature again. ROSTRON (5) continued his winning form with another strong run after leading to make it two on end at this track over 425m (24.49). In top form and looks a key chance again. BUNDY PARADISE (7) warrants respect with the drop in distance.

Has won his last two. Good effort to score just a couple of days ago over 425m at this track by 1.75 lengths in a Grade 5. Looks well placed to make it three straight.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when third (30.28) over 515m at Sandown. Boxed out wide but is among the better hopes.
