Bendigo Race 9 - Bfnl Season Launch Challenge
FRENZY (7) was a course and distance placegetter (24.11) last time also from the same draw, finishing a one length second in a Grade 5. Tough to beat on best. MY DEAR FRIEND (1) is racing well without winning, recording three minors on end, the latest hitting the ground running with a fast early sectional but finishing in the minors again when second (37.51) over 650m at Shepparton. The form out of last race has been strong. Likely to be in the finish again. PAW NEVADA (2) turned spotting a big start finishing fourth (22.41) last time in a Grade 5 at Shepparton. Has a good record at this journey. Can do much better this time. BLACKPOOL FINN (5) warrants respect following a recent placing.
