Bendigo Race 9

Sportsbet Blackbook

Stake: $3,656

KOPACKI RIT (4) was well back throughout but attacked the line to hit the frame when a 1.75 lengths third (24.76) at Sale in Grade 5. Has never missed the frame from three starts from this draw, including a win. Can go on with it. COMPARE JOE (1) finished well back at Horsham last time when a 7 length seventh (23.77) but back to the course now of his latest success. Returns to a course where he has performed well. Bold showing expected. WHOPPI DEVERE (6) filled a minor placing last start at this track behind Paw Ballista (24.11) in a Grade 5. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. The form from her last run stacks up well. Hard to beat again. PAW JASTA (8) must be included in calculations.

At the last start finished 6th in a Grade 5 on November 9 over 390m at Shepparton behind Kraken Western beaten 13 lengths (22.93). Safely held last time but can do far better here.

Missed the frame latest (24.85) when eighth over 425m at Traralgon in a Grade 4/5. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and three minors. Makes appeal on best.

Hit the frame latest (24.76) when third at Sale in a Grade 5. Has a win and two places from three starts from this draw. Looks a leading chance.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but had to contend with second when clocking 24.11 over 425m at this track. Leading chance who should prove hard to beat.

Returns from a five months break after failing to finish at Traralgon last time but prior to that was seventh in a Grade 4/5 two back. Chance to atone but prepared to risk this line-up.
