Bendigo Race 12 - Sportsbet Blackbook
PAW FAROK (6) comes into this as a quickest on the card winner last time at Shepparton, scoring by 3.5 lengths (25.24). Rates to win again. GRAY GROUPER (7) charged out of the boxes with a strong early split and went straight to the front, scoring an all the way win (24.00) over 425m at this track. Winner at his latest appearance in the quickest time on the card. Makes plenty of appeal if runs up to latest.

Charged out of the boxes with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when third (22.42) at Shepparton over 390m. Thereabouts and rates well in this. Expected to run well.

Has been in tremendous form, putting three wins together. Had plenty of support last start when he won comfortably by 3.5 lengths at Shepparton (25.24) beating Berserker Viking in a Rank Limit - Grade 5 on April 23. On a hot winning streak and likely to score again.

Eye-catching performance showing plenty of speed to score by 1.3 lengths in a T3 RSTW last start at this track, recording a strong 24.00 over the 425m journey. In form and looks tough to beat again.

Was out of placings last time (24.23) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing fifth and beaten 5 lengths. Goes very well off the draw boasting four wins and two places from 10 starts. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts.
