Bendigo Race 9

Campbell's Comments

Stake: $3,662

AUGUSTUS FINCH (8) is worth forgiving last start after finishing fourth (24.01) from Box 6 at this track over 425m. Ready to return to form. BLACK COMPASS (1) won again in another strong performance after leading to make it two on the bounce, scoring at this track over 425m (24.24). Comes through a solid form race last start. Hard to fault his form and he makes plenty of appeal. SOFIA RIOT (2) has missed the frame the last couple but was a Special conditions H winner three back (28.26) at this track over 500m. Rates a winning chance on best. MISTRESS OASIS (4) is worth some thought after placing at this track and distance last start.

Has won his last two. Good effort to score just five days ago over 425m at this track by 0.8 lengths in a Grade 5. Looks well placed to make it three straight.

Was out of placings last time (23.49) at Horsham in a Mix 3/4, finishing sixth and beaten 6 lengths. Goes very well off the draw boasting four wins and four places from 10 starts. Looks well placed and should feature.

Looks close to another win after his success on June 11 at Horsham over 410m. Last start was second over 425m in 23.88, behind Leo Bale. Has ability and among the chances.

Comments

Out of the placings last time but the run prior he was a strong winner scoring by 5 lengths in a Grade 4/5 at Geelong and clocking a solid 22.62 over the 400m trip. Can measure up again if runs up to recent best times.

Expected Early Speed:Midfield
