Bendigo Race 10

Hanrahan Plumbing

Stake: -

DEADLY FORCE (3) boxed on well to finish second last time, beaten a neck (24.23) behind Tiger Shark at this track. Leading chance again. RED SHIRAZ (6) had been racing in honest fashion recording two placings in a row before finishing fourth (24.72) at this track latest. Solid record here at the distance winning three races. Likely to be about the money. NICKLEBY ACTION (8) returned a better run last time, finishing in the money (24.25) at this track behind Lorraine Jacky in a Grade 5. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Can measure up. BLANK SLATE (1) was in the money again last time and not beaten far when third (24.34) at this track in a Grade 5.

Finished in the minors at big odds last time when second (23.26) at Horsham, making it two placings on end. Awkward draw to overcome. Will need plenty of luck.

Latest effort finished 4th over 425m at this track beaten 10 lengths (24.72) behind Aston Policy in a Grade 5 on November 28. Was in the money two on end before missing the frame last time. Worth another try.
