Bendigo Race 8 - Campbell's Comments
CANYA MAYHEM (1) scored (30.25) last time out over 520m at Cannington three-and-a-half months ago. Has never missed the frame here from three starts. Rates strongly and will go close from the inside draw. KEY PHILOSOPHY (6) ran well two back scoring a Grade 5 win in 30.25 then out of the placings at Ballarat latest but returns to a course where he has performed well. Rates a winning chance on best. ILLUMINATOR (4) finished third (25.72) two back at Warrnambool but out of the placings last time when 7th at this track. Expected to run well. ANGRY CHIEF (2) must be respected at his pet track and distance.

Resumes from a break and did win only other start when fresh which was on debut, scoring over 520m at Q Parklands. Looks well placed here and expected to go close.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when third (25.72) over 450m at Warrnambool. Has a squeeze box to navigate but can measure up.

Didn't make the placings last time at Ballarat (26.86) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 22 length eighth. Yet to win but has placed four times from this draw. Looks well placed and should feature.

Has finished sixth at the last two runs, both at Sandown, the latest when beaten 9 lengths behind Lamia Nonna Mim over 515m. This looks too tough.
