Bendigo Race 9 - Gray's Bendigo
SLICK BADGER (4) found trouble and failed to finish over 530m at Angle Park last time when strongly fancied and returns here after a four months spell. Should be in this for a long way. BORACAY STORM (8) has a strong record here with four wins and three placings from seven starts. Missed the frame latest (19.29) when fourth over 350m at Healesville in a Special conditions Veteran race. Makes strong appeal on best. CANYA ULTIMATE (1) is a promising dog in the frame at four of 25 starts including 13 wins and was a last start winner (25.60) over 455m at Murray Bridge. Strike rate this course strong having won three of six tries. Meets a moderate line up and should run well. JETSTREAM ICON (6) racing over this course and distance brings the best out in him.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 1.5 lengths in 24.09, beating Barooga Queen. Last start finished 6th over 390m at Shepparton beaten 8 lengths (22.65) behind Scott Gnarly in a Free For All on July 27. Looking to others this time.

Didn't make the placings last time at Healesville (19.29) in a Special conditions Veteran race, finishing a 3.5 lengths fourth. Has two wins and four placings from seven starts from the draw. Looks a leading chance.
