Bendigo Race 7

Tom Pell Memorial

Stake: $1,914

PAW URSULA (7) doesn't win out of turn. Hit the board with a minor placing last time when third (29.22) at Sale. Sure to be about the mark. HEATHER BALE (5) has gone well at her last couple of runs here, most recently when second beaten 1.3 lengths (28.80). Deserves a win and gets her chance. LIZARD COUNTRY (3) started big odds but ran one of the quickest times of the card with a 1.3 lengths win (28.73) at this track latest. Winner at his latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Has hit winning form and can measure up again. SOUTH THAILAND (2) can fill a top-three spot.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fourth last time out over 450m at Shepparton. Others make more appeal.

Was out of placings last time (29.72) at this track in a T3 RSTW, finishing sixth and beaten 15 lengths. Still a maiden from this draw but has never missed the frame from two starts. Will need the right run.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but had to contend with second when clocking 28.80 over 500m at this track. Speedy conveyance who looks hard to beat.

Needs to do more than recent efforts, the latest a eighth over 450m at Shepparton. Other runners look much more appealing.

Placed only run here over this trip. Latest effort finished 3rd on April 13 over 510m at Sale behind Savannah Star beaten 5 lengths (29.22) in a Restricted WIN. Thereabouts of late and rates highly this line-up. Expected to be in the finish.
