Bendigo (H) Race 6

Forty Winks Pace

Stake: $9,900

SWIFT WATCH (4) led last start and kept going when successful in a nice return to form at Shepparton, getting home by 3.5 metres. Race fit and is two from two at this distance. Can go on with it. CAPTAIN PINS (9) did a good job to come from this same barrier last time out and finish runner-up at Melton, beaten 2 metres. Has a strong record at this distance with two wins and a placing from three attempts. MIRAKURU (5) didn't have a lot go his way last start but placed at his previous two and owns a good record at this distance. SHADOW CELT (3) goes very well fresh with two wins and a placing from three attempts and should be ready to go again off a trial win.
