Bendigo Race 12

Brian Jennings Memorial

Stake: $1,683

DOWN SOUTH QUEEN (2) is having her first start around this track. Missed the frame last time when 4th and beaten 7 lengths (22.76) at Ballarat. The form from her last run is stacking up nicely. Better than last start and worth following up. SPIRIT OF PANAMA (1) turned in a modest effort most recently when sixth at Shepparton over 390m behind Ron's Mistake (23.20) in a Grade 5. Can do much better this time. PERFECT LIAM (8) turned spotting a big start finishing sixth (25.51) last time in a Grade 5 at this track. Can do much better this time. ELLI'S MY GIRL (7) is a last-start placegetter in good time - worth considering.

Has finished sixth at the last two runs, both at Shepparton, the latest when beaten 6 lengths behind Global Hero over 390m. Hard to recommend this time.

Was out of placings last time (22.87) at Ballarat in a Grade 5, finishing seventh and beaten 5.5 lengths. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed seven times. Makes appeal on best.
