Bendigo (G) Race 11

Ag Tyres And Wheels (300+ Rank)

Stake: $1,652

CLARA STELLA (7) was below best at her last couple, the latest finishing fourth at this track, but was among the placings at Shepparton three back. Key player on best and expected to bounce back. SLIPPERY SHARK (3) turned in a better run last time to find a minor placing (22.81) at Ballarat behind Crackerjack Bern in a Grade 5. Settled off speed and worked to the line nicely. Expected to be in the finish again. GOLDEN LADY (2) turned spotting a big start finishing seventh (25.27) last time in a Grade 5 at this track. Has a good record here at this journey. Has a strong record out of this box with two wins and a minor placing from three starts. Can measure up this time. UNSURPASSED (1) is likely to have admirers.

Ran a better race when second behind Crackerjack Bern at Ballarat last start over 390m (22.81). Gets back so might need a bit of luck.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Warragul over 400m in 22.93. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when seventh over 400m at Warragul at Grade 5 level. Not one of the leading chances on this occasion.

Missed the frame latest (19.95) when fifth over 350m at Healesville in a Grade 5. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed four times. Among the main chances.
