Bechini & Associates Final F

Stake: $6,954

BANDIT ALEX (3) produced a dazzling 29.37 win over 520m at this track last start. Hard to top on the time from last start. LOCO STORM (4) finished second last start over 520m at this track but was game in defeat in a respectable 29.64. Top win latest and can measure up again. ZULU SHARP (5) has an excellent record here having never missed the placings in seven starts, including five wins and two placings. Comes off a (29.64) win last time, scoring by a nose in a Grade 5 over 520m at this track. Suited here and expected to run well. SABINA SPARKLES (1) did a good job to finish third last time out over 520m at this track (30.17) in a Grade 5, the second top-three finish on the trot.

Hit the frame latest (30.17) when third at this track in a Grade 5. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed three times. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts.

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, grabbed late but holding on to a placing when a 4 length third (29.92) over 520m at this track. Rates highly on best form. Must include.

Strongly fancied last time and hit the ground running with a fast early split, paving the way for a 9 length win at this track over 520m in 29.37. Has run very fast time at this course and distance. Go close on his best form.

Eye-catching performance racing just off the speed and going on to score by a nose in a Grade 5 last start at this track, recording a dynamic 29.64 over the 520m journey. Expected to go close again if runs up to latest time.
