Bendigo Race 10

Gray's Bendigo

Stake: $3,568

CHEEKY MILA (1) has been in the minors the last two, the latest showing strong pace early but gathered in and finished a 2.75 lengths third over 425m this track in 24.13. Deserves a win and gets her chance. OUT OF ELITE (8) was below best at his last start when 7th at Traralgon following a second place finish (24.69) there two back. Can figure in the finish. PIEBALD (2) has mixed form but was in the money three back and wasn't far away last time at this track when fourth (24.30) in a Grade 5. Key player on best and worth another try. ZAMBADA ICON (3) was out of the money at this circuit last start but can atone.

Comments

Flew the lids with a fast early split last time, hitting the frame with a 2.75 lengths third (24.13) over 425m at this track and making it two placings on end. Has been around the mark at her last couple and should make her presence felt.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Ballarat over 390m in 21.98. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fourth over 390m at Shepparton at Grade 5 level. This appears within her reach.

Was out of placings last time (24.49) at Traralgon in a Grade 5 FIN, finishing seventh and beaten 7 lengths. Has two wins and three placings from seven starts from the draw. Looks hard to beat with even luck.

Expected Early Speed:Midfield
