Bendigo Race 5

Drake International Mdn Plate

Stake: $41,250

Siding with FONTAINE ROUGE (5) who resumes here having run third in small fields at two runs in her maiden campaign, starting $1.40 and $1.60 at those two runs. That market support is worth noting here and the 1300m looks a suitable kick-off point. HIGH TEMPO (6) is a mare by Unusual Suspect on debut for the Hayes yard who has jumped out well and shapes as the main danger. VILLANDRY (4) drops back in grade and can show good improvement third up. Something for the Multiples: DAWN EMBERS (1)

Distance: 1300m

Mare by Unusual Suspect facing the starter for the first time. Has looked handy in her trials leading into this. Ran 3rd in a trial at Traralgon over 950m on December 5. Beautifully drawn and should be primed for a big debut run.

At the latest run 10th of 14 at Swan Hill Mdn-Sw on November 24 over 1600m, slow going 10 len behind Track Patcher with 54.5kg at $67. The start before that sat on the pace before fading second last of 9 at this track F&M Mdn-Sw on November 13 over 1300m, slow going 7 len behind Sounds Fun carrying 58kg at $19. Not keen on her chances.

At the latest run sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 8 at Mornington F&M Mdn-Sw on December 6 over 1200m, 1.75 len behind Tartan Belle carrying 56.5kg at $21. Before that second last in a small field at Kyneton 3yo Mdn-Sw on November 18 over 1112m, 4 len behind Butternut Princess with 56kg at $81. Will need further improvement to trouble these.
