Bendigo Race 8 - Gray's Bendigo (300+Rank)
BLACK SPECTRE (1) won by a space two back then gave a start but got home into the frame when third at Shepparton (26.03) last time. Form from his last run is proving strong. Winning claims. JAG FERNANDO (2) was among the minors three back at Shepparton then missed the frame the last two, but drawn box 2 this time where he has two wins. Expected to do much better this time. DUTCH IMPACT (3) was below best latest but did hit the frame in quick time two back when third (31.19) at Ballarat in a Grade 5. Expected to do much better this time. SIR VALENTINO (6) gets a chance to redeem an unplaced effort here last start.
