Bendigo Race 4 - Gray's Bendigo (300+)
ETHANOL VISION (5) turned in a better run last time to find a minor placing (22.59) at Warrnambool behind Bush Jewel in a Bottom Up - Grade 5. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings three times from five attempts. Must come into calculations. CRAIG KEEPING (2) missed the frame and was safely held latest finishing 7th at this track following on from a second place finish (24.53) there the start prior. Goes well out of this box with a win and six minor placings. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. SOLITARY FLAME (1) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing sixth (22.95) in a Special conditions Veteran race at Shepparton. Has a good record here including two wins. Will give the top chances plenty to think about. DESTINI REBEL (7) was unplaced here last start but gets his chance to atone.

Missed the frame latest (22.95) when sixth over 390m at Shepparton in a Special conditions Veteran race. Goes well out of this box with a win and three minors. With a clean break looks hard to beat.

Has failed to fire at the last couple but he does have good record over this track and distance. Has never missed the frame in six starts from the draw. Solid prospects.
