GOING: G(4)

Bendigo Mazda 3YO BM64 Handicap 1100m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 30)   Rail: Out 5m Entire Circuit.  

Expecting More Highs On Me to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. STREET ARTIST (2) is off a let up here having avoided the temptation of black type company and looks very well placed to score again here. He was having his first start as a gelding when last seen at Mornington and was dominant winning by five lengths in fast time. This is a handy BM64 but he'll be short in betting and a likely winner. TEINE AULELEI (4) resumes. She won in good time on debut here before a strong close to grab third behind a smart one at Caulfield. She's got ability and any improvement has her firmly in the mix. LOFTY THOUGHTS (1) resumes. He only had the one run last time in, winning narrowly at Ballarat Synthetic. Prior to that he'd been tested in some strong 2yo races and looked talented. Can run well. PURE PASSION (3) was far too good at Kilmore breaking her maiden last time and has race fitness on her side. SERINDA (7) next best off a solid maiden win fresh. SUGGESTED PLAY: Street Artist to win.
