Bendigo Race 8 - Peter Brown Custom Homes
ZELDA COVILHA (1) looks close to another win after finishing third from Box 2 last time (29.51) at Sandown. Likely to be in the finish again. NARADHAN (8) has a strong record this trip with five wins and three placings from 10 starts. Was out of placings last time (30.09) at Sandown in a Grade 5, finishing fifth and beaten 9 lengths. Looks suited here and can measure up. OVER ACHIEVER (2) turned in a better run last time to find a minor placing (28.08) at this track behind Hoppy in a Grade 4/5. Led around the bend before fighting on well and should give a sight. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Can measure up. UNCLE STILTSKIN (4) recorded a one length win (29.65) in a Grade 5 last time at Sandown. Has already won two times from this draw.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but bumped into one better when runner up (28.08) at this track over 500m. Speedy conveyance who looks hard to beat.

Good performance after tracking the speed to win by one length at Sandown over 515m (29.65) beating Reality Ute in Grade 5 on April 30. Has a very good strike-rate out of box 4, scoring two times. Among the chances.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 425m in 23.75. Followed that up with a minor placing over 450m at Shepparton at Grade 4/5 four days ago. Others make more appeal.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage seventh last time out over 570m at Traralgon. Will not find this easy. Not keen.
