Bendigo Race 2 - Bendigo Advertiser
BLACKPOOL FINN (4) turned in a modest effort most recently when seventh at Warrnambool over 390m behind Paw Gusto (22.75) in a Grade 4/5. Scored at his previous run. Has winning claims on his best figures. TENSION HEAD (3) was well fancied last time and led throughout to score (22.80) at Warragul in a Grade 5 over 400m. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Expecting another bold showing. PAW INFLAME (1) ran a speedy 22.18 when filling a minor placing over 390m at Ballarat last start. Bold showing expected again. PERFECT SYMPHONY (2) saluted last start after racing on the speed. Sure to run well again.
