Bendigo Race 6

Jarrod Larkin Concreting

Stake: $3,629

TALCOTT BALE (8) was out of in the placings when seventh last time but prior to that posted a lightning 24.95 win over 450m at Warrnambool. Hard to top on the time from two back. SWEET LOVE (6) is a promising dog in the frame at four of 13 starts including five wins and was in the minors again latest (22.04) over 390m at Shepparton. Form here is sound including two wins. Has a good overall strike-rate and can find the frame here. MAGNET MOVER (3) put in a much better performance last start when in the placings at this track behind Matt Loch (24.24) in a Free For All. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Expected to be in the finish again. ROSCOE BALE (2) is always a threat when he draws this box.

Missed the frame last start when a 12 length sixth (22.82) at Ballarat. Previous form sound including a win three back at Ballarat. Has ability but this tough and will need some luck to feature.

Missed the frame latest (28.75) when fifth over 500m at this track in a Grade 4/5. Box stats strong with two wins and two placings from five starts. Looks suited here and can measure up on best.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but swamped late when a close up fourth (24.67) at this track over 425m. Needs to find a bit more to test these.

Showed blistering pace early and gave a sight when a 1.75 lengths third over 390m Shepparton in 22.04. More than capable and well placed to find her best form.
