Bendigo Race 10

Gray's Bendigo

Stake: $3,629

TOMMY TEQUILA (5) made light work of a wide draw last time with a slick early sectional but gathered in and had to settle for the minors, finishing second (23.85) at this track over 425m. Comes through a solid form race last start. Top prospect. RECKLESS (2) has a strong record this trip with seven wins and five placings from 15 starts. In the money last time at Horsham (23.65) in a Grade 5, finishing a 4.5 lengths second. Can hit the frame with the right run. HARD STYLE ROBBO (4) could manage only sixth at Shepparton last time but caught the eye when posting a slick 22.26 over 390m at Shepparton the start prior. Should be in this for a long way. SKETCHY DEMOS (1) was out of placings last time (23.01) at Geelong in a Grade 4/5, finishing fourth and beaten 2.75 lengths. Has already won five times from this draw.

Quickly away at Shepparton two runs back then again settled forward and finished second at Horsham last start over 410m from this same draw. The form from last run stacks up well. Hard to beat.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Shepparton over 390m in 22.26. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when sixth over 450m at Shepparton at Grade 5 level. Well below best last time but expecting sharp improvement.

In the money last time at this track (23.85) in a Mix 3/4, finishing a 0.6 lengths second. Goes very well from the draw boasting four places from five starts. Looks a key chance on best form.
