Bendigo Race 2

Stake: $3,159

FIRST TRAIN OUT (7) is progressing well with another good run last time, placing (28.39) from Box 2 at this track. Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Deserves serious consideration. SOFIA RIOT (6) was big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, weakening late to finish a 2.25 lengths fifth (24.48) over 425m at this track. Great chance to atone. ASTON CORLEONE (4) stalked the lead and fought on well to finish 3 lengths away in second (22.85) at Warragul in a Free For All over 400m. Form from his last run is proving to be solid. Expected to feature. BLACKPOOL VIPER (8) can find the frame without surprising.

Missed the frame latest (22.54) when fourth over 390m at Shepparton in a Grade 5. Goes very well off the draw boasting four wins and three places from eight starts. Others appear better placed.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fifth last time out over 410m at Horsham. Hard to tip with any confidence.

Last start finished seventh over 410m at Horsham, beaten 8 lengths (23.74) behind Sweet Valentine in a Grade 5 on May 2. Can't recommend in this field.

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, grabbed late but holding on to a placing when a 3 length second (22.85) over 400m at Warragul. Fought on last time. Right in the mix again.

Missed the frame latest (24.48) when fifth over 425m at this track in a Grade 5. Has four wins and three placings from 13 starts from the draw. Looks hard to beat with even luck.

Struggling to break through but racing consistently, finishing in the minors three starts on end. Last time out flew the lids with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when second (28.39) at this track over 500m. Has won two races from this box. Expected to feature.

Didn't make the placings last time at Warrnambool (22.29) in a Grade 5, finishing a 2 length fifth. Yet to win but has placed three times from this draw. Among the main chances.
