Bendigo Race 6

Ag Tyres & Wheels

Stake: $4,262

LEO BALE (4) is progressing well scoring last time out (23.10) at Horsham and bringing up his 14th career win. Form here sound including two wins. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in his latest win. Hard to fault his recent form and can win again. WHY I'M BROKE (2) sizzled around Geelong over 460m in 25.76 for a 3 length success. In form and must include in calculations. GOLIATH (7) is a talented type and proved too classy last time to win by 1.5 lengths at The Meadows in a handy 30.40 beating Magic Dark Star. The form out of his last race has been franked. Can go close again if runs up to latest figure. DAINTREE PEDRO (1) looks an each-way chance.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when third (27.42) over 485m at Horsham. Nicely drawn on the inside but looks a each way chance only this field.

Eye-catching performance to post a big 3 lengths victory in a Grade 5 last start at Geelong, clocking an excellent 25.76 for the 460m trip. Has the ability and expected to go close again.

Flew the lids with a fast early split and went on to clock 23.10 when a 1.5 lengths winner over 410m at Horsham. Looks well placed to make it three straight.

Good effort to win last start by 1.2 lengths over 515m at Sandown in a handy (29.74), beating Power Paws. Will find this a bit tougher, happy enough to avoid.

Should get a clear run from the wide draw. Wasn't impressive last start but does have a great record at this track and distance, forgive the latest run. Has solid claims on his best form.
