Bendigo Race 11

Rsn Grey Areas - Wednesday & Friday

Stake: $3,159

CANDY STRIDE (3) was well back throughout but attacked the line strongly to place, one length from the winner (24.32) at this track in Grade 5. Expected to feature in the finish again. NICKLEBY ACTION (6) was below best last time but prior to that was narrowly beaten when fifth (22.20) in a Grade 5 at Shepparton. Expected to bounce back to best. NO BAD DEED (4) scored an on-pace win two back then gave a start and could manage only 5th at Ballarat (22.39) last time. Expected to feature in the finish. MORE BEER PLEASE (5) missed the frame latest (25.69) when fifth over 450m at Shepparton in a Grade 4/5. Has already won two times from this draw.

Returns from a three-and-a-half months spell and hit the frame when last resuming, finishing third over 390m at Warrnambool. Can't recommend in this field.

Didn't make the placings last time at Ballarat (22.83) in a Grade 5, finishing a 9 length fifth. Has performed well off the draw with a win and six places from nine starts. Tough line-up and may struggle.

Latest effort finished 3rd on May 2 over 425m at this track behind Rapidfire Morris beaten one length (24.32) in a Grade 5. Thereabouts at the last couple. Suited here and likely to run well.

Goes well at this track and trip. At the last start finished 5th on April 28 over 450m at Shepparton behind Kraken Paddy beaten 7 lengths (25.69) in a Grade 4/5. Has ability and looks a winning hope.

Could manage only fifth last time but turned heads the start prior when he recorded a slick 22.20 over 390m finishing second at Shepparton. Can measure up on top effort two back.

Missed the frame latest (30.15) when seventh over 515m at Sandown in a Grade 5. Box stats strong with four wins and four placings from nine starts. Tough field and looking to others this time.

Won her last couple, most recently at Shepparton on May 3 over 390m in 22.22. Not suited by the wide draw; Hard to entertain this time.
