Bendigo Race 5 - Sportsbet Final

CHOOSIN' TEXAS (1) finished 4 lengths away in second last start over 425m at this track but in a useful 23.83. Expected to push the clock again here. WHO SHE RULES (3) turned spotting a big start finishing fifth (26.04) last time in a Rank Limit - Restricted Win at Ballarat. Form here sound including two wins. Comes through a solid form race last start. Has ability and is one of the better chances. RIPPER RAE (6) could manage only sixth at Shepparton last time but impressed when posting a quick 30.03 over 525m at The Meadows the start prior. Has the ability and can find winning form again. DAZZLING DYNAMO (7) is worth a look over a shorter trip this time.

Could only manage seventh last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest at double-figure odds when third (24.81) over 425m at this track. Tough draw to overcome and appears tested on latest effort.
