Bendigo Race 8 - Sportsbet Nobody Does It Easier

OX THE MAN (2) settled down midfield and held his position to the line when finishing 4th (25.81) at Shepparton. Solid record here at the distance winning four races. Can make amends. SHAKA BIG CHIEF (7) finds it hard to win but looks close to breaking through. Continues to race well, filling the minors at the last three starts, the latest when second (30.94) at The Meadows. Expected to feature. SONIC TROOPER (1) has been below best and missed the frame last couple, finishing 6th (26.15) last time in a Grade 5 at Shepparton. Great record here at the trip having never missed the frame including one win. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. FIRE WIRE (3) can improve on an unplaced run here last time out.

Hasn't been that impressive recently but he does have good record over this track and distance. Expected to bounce right back. Hard to beat.
