Bendigo Race 12 - Rsn Grey Areas - Wednesday & Friday

CLOSE COMBAT (4) hit the ground running from an outside draw with a fast early split, paving the way for a 0.8 lengths win at this track over 425m in 24.59. Can go close again if runs up to latest figure. MORAINE MIA (2) was prominent early off a low draw but weakened and dropped out when 8th over 425m at this track in Grade 5 company. Comes through a solid form race last start. Can measure up this time. SMILING BEE (6) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fourth (24.60) last time in a Restricted WIN at this track. Warrants plenty of respect. APPLICANT (1) generally performs well over this distance.
