Bendigo Race 7

Sportsbet Ht2

Stake: -

BUSHMAN'S ARCHIE (5) was game in defeat at the latest run, finishing second and beaten a head (28.21) behind Zelda Braga at this track. Got the money at his only try from this box. One of the leading chances. PAPA EASY (1) ran below his best last time finishing sixth (26.26) over 450m at Shepparton in a Grade 5 H. Form here excellent including two wins. Some good form is emerging from his last run. Bold showing expected. CASH THE LOT (2) continues to race well but is struggling to break through, placing at his last four runs. Last time finished 3rd on November 30 over 350m at Healesville behind Michigan beaten 4 lengths (19.51) in a Grade 5. Ready to find winning form.

Suited by inside box. Last start finished last in a Grade 5 H on November 24 over 450m at Shepparton behind Layla Nova beaten 9 lengths (26.26). Some good form is emerging from that last run. Expected to prove hard to beat.

Racing well without winning, recording four minors on end, the latest hitting the ground running with a fast early sectional but finishing in the minors again when third (19.51) over 350m at Healesville. Around the mark two starts back. Winning chance on that form.
