Bendigo Race 7

Gray's Bendigo (275+Rank)

Stake: $1,652

TUFF TOBY (1) missed the frame last time but prior to that was an effortless Grade 5 H NP winner (24.15) at this track, scoring by 4.5 lengths. Better than latest and can atone here. NO WORDS (3) ran well two back scoring a Grade 5 win in 22.15 then out of the placings at Horsham latest but returns to a course where he has performed well. Has the ability and can find best this time. DERNANCOURT (6) was below best at his last start when 7th at this track following a win (24.53) there two back. Solid record here at the distance winning two races. Has ability and can measure up. RED SHIRAZ (7) is in the mix despite missing out at this track last time.

Didn't make the placings last time at Shepparton (22.51) in a Veteran race H, finishing a 5 length fifth. Goes very well from the draw boasting one victory and seven places from 14 starts. Has ability but looking elsewhere this time.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 2 lengths in 24.53, beating Craig Keeping. Last start finished 7th over 425m at this track beaten 8 lengths (24.87) behind Green Flash in a Grade 5 on June 11. Racing well and has to be included.
