Bendigo Race 9

Hanrahan Plumbing

Stake: $4,099

STAR FURY (5) was below best last time when fifth at Warrnambool but prior to that was a Free For All winner in the quickest time on the card at Warrnambool. Look for sharp improvement here. PAW ELODEE (7) clocked a solid 25.40 winning over 450m at Warrnambool last start in a Grade 5. Harder here but expected to feature again. KRAKEN BLUEY (1) has some solid form under his belt and proved too strong last time to win by 2.5 lengths at Shepparton in a handy 22.50 beating Zipping Everdeen. Will go close again if runs up to latest. CONTRADICTION (2) is in form and must include among the chances.

Talented type with an excellent strike rate at this journey. Has been prominent in the run and duly saluted at her last couple, most recently over 450m at Warrnambool in a handy 25.40 beating Spanish Fawn. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last time. Worth following up.

Charged out of the boxes with a fast early split and led throughout to score when a 4 length winner (25.42) over 450m at Shepparton. Comes through a good form race. Looks a definite chance.

Expected Early Speed:Front Runner
