Bendigo Race 8

Grv Distance Racing

Stake: $5,423

JONI BLACK (2) Folded up in the straight when 4th last time at Ballarat. Overlooking the last run. Has good early speed and will be nicely positioned. Has to be strongly considered. MIDNIGHT PHANTOM (5) Produced an eye catching run when 2nd last start at Warrnambool in 37.82s over 650m. Can get the job done. PAW FORTRESS (7) Competed in a tight contest last start at Sale in 36.75s over 640m. Should get going late. Good prospects. ASTON TRUST (6) Was strong on the speed before fading to finish 2nd last run at Ballarat in 37.93s over 660m. Very strong each way claims.

At $5.00 was well beaten when 4th last time at Ballarat. Overlooking the last run. Should muster plenty of early speed. Definite claims.
