Bendigo Race 6

Stake: $3,629

ZIPPING GRYLLIS (4) boasts a strong record this journey with eight wins and 12 minors from 24 tries. Missed the frame latest (30.92) when seventh over 525m at The Meadows in a Free For All. Looks a leading chance on best. TOMMY TEQUILA (8) missed the frame last time at this track but just three runs back rocketed around 390m at Warrnambool in 21.77. Rates a leading chance if runs up to recent winning time. DRAGONELLE (1) put in a much better performance last start when in the placings at Geelong behind Aston Ophelia (23.03) in a Grade 5. Settled off speed and worked to the line nicely. Can measure up. TANNER BALE (6) is a last-start placegetter and was not beaten too far - in the mix again.

Well supported last time and rocketed out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but had to settle for the minor money, finishing a 6 length third (23.03) over 400m at Geelong. Expected to go very well.

Missed the frame last start when a 8 length sixth (26.36) at Temora. Previous form sound including a win three back at Shepparton. Looks a strong place chance on best figures.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 7th on June 21 over 525m at The Meadows behind Pepper Rush beaten 9 lengths (30.92) in a Free For All. Placed two back at Sandown. Below best last time but looks well placed here. Deserves another chance.

Missed the frame last start when a 6 length seventh (24.36) at this track. Previous form sound including a win three back at Warrnambool. Suited here and expected to bounce back.
