Bendigo Race 2

Grv Vicbred Series Maiden Final

Stake: $15,903

BAROOGA JIM (2) made a big impression on debut when flew the lids with a sensational early split and hit the frame with a 1.3 lengths second (23.98) over 425m at this track. Promising type who will be in this for a long way. HATARI (6) was game in defeat off a low draw at the latest outing, finishing third and beaten 2 lengths (24.04) behind BROKEN HALO at this track. Leading chance. BROKEN HALO (8) was quickly into stride on debut to score by 1.3 lengths (23.90) at this track over 425m. Boxed wide but has the pace to be prominent. Bold showing expected again. MEPUNGA SANDY (1) was a shade disappointing when in the placings as favourite on debut. Has ability and may be worth another try.

Made a big impression on debut when charged out of the cherry draw with a slick early sectional and gave a sight but had to settle for third (24.25) at this track. Shows good promise and can run well again.

Made an eye-catching debut when flew the lids with a fast early split hitting the frame with a 1.3 lengths second (23.98) at this track. Looks promising and can measure up this time.

Caught the eye on debut when big odds but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, grabbed late but holding on to second (24.18) at this track. Harder here and place looks best again without further improvement.

Strong performance after racing just off the speed to win by 1.3 lengths at this track over 425m (24.10) beating She Likes Beer in Maiden H on July 18. Requires further improvement to feature.

Made an impressive debut when well supported and charged out of the boxes with a fast early sectional but had to settle for the minor money, finishing third (24.04) at this track. Improver who looks a key chance on debut effort.

Showed good early speed on debut. Won by half a length at this track (24.16) beating Atticus in a Maiden H on July 18. Will find this much tougher but he's got good box manners and speed. Has hit winning form and is worth thought again.

Made a winning debut over 425m at this track where he settled on speed and went on to score a 1.3 lengths win 23.90. Back in great order and makes plenty of appeal again.

Produced a good effort on debut to finish third in a Maiden H on July 18 over 425m at this track behind Slick Tommy, beaten 2 lengths (24.29). Prefer in something easier.
