Bendigo Race 6 - Sportsbet More Places

LIGHTHEARTEDNESS (4) is a capable type and proved too strong last time to win by one length at this track in a handy 28.63 beating Instant Action. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in his latest win. Looks the one to beat. OLLIE REIKO (3) was well back throughout but attacked the line strongly to place, 2 lengths from the winner (28.77) at this track in Bottom Up - Grade 5. Expected to feature again. SEAN'S MATILDA (7) turned in a fair run last time from an unfavourable draw finishing fifth by 5 lengths (28.64). Shapes as one to consider. TIGER SHARK (1) is worth including.
