Bendigo Race 9 - Made Solutions Electrical And Data

TALCOTT BALE (7) is progressing well and looks close to another win after hitting the frame last run (24.10) at this track. Form here is sound including two wins. Expected to feature in the finish again. JETSTREAM ICON (4) could manage only fourth at this track last time but caught the eye when clocking a solid 25.31 over 450m at Shepparton three starts back. Top win three back and can measure up again. ESSENCE (5) could only manage third last time when beaten 2.25 lengths behind Knee Deep at Healesville but in a scorching 16.45. Should be in this for a long way. PAW XABIA (2) should be thereabouts despite an unplaced run here most recently.

Was in a purple patch of form before proving a little disappointing last start, finishing sixth at this track over 425m. Others read better.

Was sent out long odds last time but charged out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 4 length fifth (24.33) over 425m at this track. Major threat on best form.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but swamped late when a close up fourth (24.30) at this track over 425m. Has run hot time here with a 23.53 PB at the distance. Key chance.

Form has been solid with minor placings at her last five starts. Last time out finished 3rd in a Free For All on September 14 over 300m at Healesville behind Knee Deep beaten 2.25 lengths (16.45). Overdue a win and gets her chance to break through.
