Bendigo Race 5

Gray's Bendigo (1-3 Wins)

Stake: $3,607

QUEST FOR ANGEL (3) struggled to get involved last start after being shuffled back early at The Meadows, but prior to that won by 1.2 lengths at The Meadows (30.28) beating Zipping Dargan in a Mix 6/7 on May 28. Ready to return to form. SHOOT THE BREEZE (8) has not raced since scoring (25.91) over 450m at Shepparton three-and-a-half months ago. Has never been out of the money in three starts this course. Expected to feature on best form. CORNHILL RAVEN (1) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fifth (26.00) last time in a Grade 7 at Ballarat. Should be in this for a long way. EDINBURGH BALE (2) finished in the placings last start and deserves some thought.
