Bendigo Race 11 - Sportsbet Blackbook
SPANISH ARMADA (1) has been hard to follow lately, running fourth (19.76) last time but prior to that ran very well when placed at Shepparton. Can make amends this time. TACTICIAN (3) comes off an average performance last start when sixth at The Meadows over 525m behind Zipping Tyra (30.98) in a Grade 5. Was in the money the start prior. The form out of his last race has been franked. Shapes as one to consider. BAYINI (2) returned a better run last time, finishing in the money (23.04) at Shepparton behind Cinnabar Icon in a Grade 5. Has the pace to be prominent. Expecting another good run. SMALL MERCIES (6) is another with top-three prospects.

Showed brilliant pace early and gave a sight when a 5.5 lengths third over 390m Shepparton in 23.04. Capable of a strong show.

Has hit the frame the last two starts, the latest when second (24.52) over 425m at this track. Will need a little luck early from the draw. Solid top-three prospects.

Missed the frame last time but finished in the minors at big odds two back when second (22.84) over 390m at Shepparton. Drawn out wide but can measure up.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage sixth last time out over 350m at Healesville. Be tough to make an impression against this lot.

Hit the ground running last time with a fast early split and never headed, leading throughout to win by 0.8 lengths (24.48) over 425m at this track. Makes plenty of appeal on that latest effort.
