Bendigo Race 12 - One More Race To Go
MAXIMUM SUNNY (3) was responsible for a modest effort most recently when eighth at Sale over 435m behind Dr. Exclaim (25.20) in a Grade 5. Scored at her previous run. Has ability and can bounce back. TEQUILA BLINDER (8) turned in a plain effort last time when fifth at Geelong over 460m behind Bold Thruster (26.49) in a Grade 5. Was a winner prior to that. Worth another chance. POP POP BANG (1) was an impressive winner latest at Ballarat in Grade 5 in one of the quickest times of the program (22.63). Has failed to finish in the placings from three starts here. Winner at her latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. One of the leading chances again. BED TIME DAISY (7) was out of the money at this circuit last start but can make amends.

Missed the frame last start when a 9 length sixth (26.20) at Shepparton. Previous form sound including a win three back at Ballarat. Tough field and looking to others this time.

Latest effort finished last over 435m at Sale beaten 10 lengths (25.20) behind Dr. Exclaim in a Grade 5 on October 11. Below best last time but looks well placed here. Deserves another chance.

Form has been strong, including a victory two starts back. Last time out finished 2nd in a Grade 5 on October 9 over 425m at this track behind Hope Juan beaten a head (24.34). Close-up last time but this is a stern test.

Could only manage fifth last time but the start prior went down fighting at double figure odds when second (24.26) over 425m at this track. Drawn out wide but is worth plenty of thought.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 500m. Last start finished 5th over 460m at Geelong beaten 8 lengths (26.49) behind Bold Thruster in a Grade 5 on September 25. Coming out of a very strong form race. Expected to go well.
