Bendigo Race 1 - Sportsbet Final
BRINDLE ROAD (8) showed little early speed at her last couple, the latest finishing sixth (22.93) in a Maiden at Shepparton. Better than the latest effort and deserves another chance. ASTON HAYWORTH (7) has first look around here after a moderate run last time, finishing fourth at Shepparton over 390m behind Mcvee (22.63). Has ability and can measure up. NICK TOO QUICK (3) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing fourth (22.80) in a Maiden at Shepparton. Must be included in calculations. THERMAL KNIGHT (2) was a debut placegetter from this box and looks to have solid claims again.

Stepping out over 425m for the first time. Out of the placings in recent runs, most recently when fourth over 300m at Healesville. Hard to recommend in this lineup.

Turned in a sound debut over 390m at Shepparton where he settled on speed and stuck on well to finish second (23.10). Capable of a good showing.

Last start finished eighth over 390m at Shepparton, beaten 13 lengths (23.66) behind Attitude Aaliyah in a Maiden on August 10. Likely to struggle this time.

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but ran over late and missed the frame when a 3 length fourth (22.63) over 390m at Shepparton. Forward showing expected.

Has ability but remains a maiden after four starts, the most recent effort a sixth (22.93) over 390m at Shepparton. Should prove hard to beat.
