Bendigo Race 7

Garrards Horse & Hound Pace

Stake: $4,320

JILLIBY TIDALWAVE (8) eases back in grade after giving a good sight last start at Charlton, leading and sticking on for a 1.6m third. Had won two in a row prior and draws for a nice trail so has strong claims. KALKADOON DREAMING (7) worked and was far from disgraced when midfield last start and did well to place at Shepparton prior. Draws deeper but races well at this distance. Primary contender. TOPHUT JOHNY (5) is a player again having placed in three of his last four starts, two of them from this barrier. ALTATUDE (9) bombed the start last time but is in the mix if she can recapture the form from two starts back that saw her score at Shepparton.

Failed to impress last start; 9th (Sr6) over 1690m at Kilmore, beaten 25 m by Adieu Mikennis (2:04.60) in NR up to 42 on May 29 at $7.50. Showed ability the race before when he won by a head (Fr5) at Melton (2:06.80) beating Angel Of Anger in NR up to 42 on May 23 at $9.50 at the bell was 2nd-1.49. Consider.

Didn't do much at the last run, 6th (Sr4) over 2150m at this track was 6th-7.57 at the bell, beaten 9 m by Bettorsweetvictory (2:39.00) in NR up to 45 on July 9 at $26. Before that 4th (Sr2) over 2150m at this track was 2nd-4.04 at the bell, beaten 8 m by Final Bow (2:39.80) in NR up to 45 on July 2 at $15. This looks a far sterner test.

Didn't do much at the last run, was well back in the run when 8th (Fr5) over 2190m at Shepparton was 10th-15.03 at the bell, beaten 14 m by Cresco Threepeat (2:43.20) in NR 40 to 45 on June 17 at $12. Before that was well back in the run when 7th (Fr4) over 1755m after racing wide at Echuca, beaten 20 m by Eastbro Jesse (2:08.80) in NR 46 to 51 on June 10 at $101. Not keen on her chances in this line-up.

Fair performance when beaten by 5 m finishing fifth behind Joeys Hangover at Kilmore over 2180m in a NR up to 45 on July 3 at $26. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Bettorsweetvictory at this track over 2150m in a NR up to 45 on July 9 at $26. Solid prospects.

Last start was well beaten into sixth after a quick start, behind Janiebquick at Ballarat over 2200m in a NR 45 to 49 on July 10 at $4.40. Performed better the start before with a game effort when 3rd (Fr5) over 2190m after showing early speed and racing wide at Shepparton was leading by 0.4 at the bell, beaten 5.5 m by Animado (2:42.80) in NR 45 to 51 on July 1 at $4.80. Best form should see him in the finish.

Failed to impress last start; 8th (Fr5) over 1609m at Charlton, well beaten by Optimal (1:57.40) in 0-3 WINS on July 7 at $3.50. Showed ability the outing before when she won by 2 m as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr5) at Shepparton (2:44.80) beating Flip A Coin in 0-2 WINS on July 1 at $2.10 at the bell was leading 3.99. Can be about the money.

Expected Settling Position: Midfield
