Bendigo Race 2 - Bendigo Advertiser
PAW IRULAN (8) was well off top last time, finishing 8th (24.72) in a Mix 6/7 at this track. Has won here at this journey. Should be very hard to beat this time. AUNTY CHERYL (3) hit the ground running and never headed to claim a maiden victory two back then finished a 5.5 lengths third last start at Ballarat over 390m (22.49). Yet to win at the journey but has run some good races. Hard to beat again here. REV IAN (2) is better than last start when fourth (31.02) from Box 7 at The Meadows over 525m. Better than last start and can bounce back. PAW QUINTESSA (1) returns from a five weeks layoff and deserves plenty of thought.

Was out of placings last time when fourth (23.92) at Warragul in a T3 Grade 7. Will jump from box 1 for the first time. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when third (22.86) at big odds over 400m at Geelong. Has a wide draw to navigate and needs to find best form to feature.

Backs up after winning easily by 3.5 lengths at Shepparton (22.38) beating Lolly Cake in a Maiden on January 19 four days ago. This is much harder assignment and she needs to find another gear.

Missed the frame last start when eighth but had been in strong form prior to that, winning two on end before placing two back. Looks a key chance here on best and given another chance.
