Bendigo Race 1 - Bendigo Advertiser
AUSSIE MIRAGE (4) boxed on well to finish second last time, beaten a neck (24.44) behind Bold Avenger at this track. Has never been out of the placings from three starts out of this box. One of the contenders. MORAINE MERLIN (8) drew a squeeze box and was game in defeat when a close third, half a length from the winner Bold Avenger (24.46) at this track. Can measure up. SISTER GOLDEN (1) is on debut with a good inside draw a bonus. Worth watching for a betting move. TEXAS TOAST (2) is a last-start placegetter who is in the mix again.

Has hit the frame the last two starts, the latest at double figure odds when third (28.54) over 500m at this track. Drawn close to the inside. One of the better hopes.

Is a 32 start maiden overdue for a win, hitting the frame last start when second (24.44) over 425m at this track. Has performed consistently off this draw. Looks well placed here.

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but ran over late and missed the frame when a 2.5 lengths fifth (24.60) over 425m at this track. Looks a strong winning hope.
