GOING: H(8)

Bendigo Magazine 3YO BM64 Handicap 1100m

Track: HEAVY 8   Rain (Max: 15)   Rail: Out 3m Entire Circuit.  

A strong gallop is likely with Over The Stars and Fragrant Cloud taking up the running, closely attended by Molly The Magician and Mr Markle. NIMBUSTWOTHOUSAND (5) sets up well here. His recent form is strong having finished a narrow sixth in a three-year-old handicap at Sandown Hillside last time out. The run prior was also good in a better BM64 and he rates a good chance. ALERO (1) was poor last time at Echuca as favourite but had been going well prior and did beat home the danger at Pakenham two back. Not sure he wants it too heavy but he has the ability. TRANSACTIONS (6) is racing consistently, working home okay over 1000m at Mornington on similar ground last time out. Better suited back up to 1100m now and can break through. FRAGRANT CLOUD (10) resumes for her second campaign having shown ability last time in. She won well on debut at Goulburn and may have improved again. WARPARTY (3) is a winner on heavy and rates an each way hope. SUGGESTED PLAY: Nimbustwothousand on top.
