Bendigo Race 10 - Gray's Bendigo

PAW GUSTO (4) has a strong record this trip with seven wins and five placings from 18 starts. Placed last time (23.84) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing second and beaten 1.1 lengths. Looks suited here and rates on top. STROP (7) failed to come into contention last start after drifting back at Warragul, but prior to that won comfortably by 4.5 lengths at Geelong (22.68) beating Tinker Dot in a Grade 5 FIN on April 17. The form out of his last race has been franked. Key runner on best form. SOLAR SPECTRUM (3) was an all the way winner two back but last start drifted back and wound up strongly to finish a 4 length third at this track (24.33). Expected to be in this for a long way. POWER AFFECT (8) missed the placings here most recently but can sneak into the finish with the right run.

Got back last start and could only manage third but before that won by 1.75 lengths at Shepparton (25.17) beating Kraken Tommy in a Grade 5 on April 20. Hasn't been far away. Don't underestimate.

Showed blistering pace early but found one better when a 1.1 lengths second over 425m this track in 23.84. The form out of the last run measures up. Hard to beat.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Geelong over 400m. Last start finished last on April 21 over 460m at Warragul behind Paw Hazelton beaten 8 lengths (26.66) in a Grade 5. Tipped to improve sharply. Rates highly on best form.
