Bendigo Race 8 - Grv Distance Racing
SLICK NITRO (1) is long overdue for a win, finishing in the minors at her last three starts, the latest jumping from this same box when third in a OPEN at Angle Park (43.36). Expected to feature again. ELECTRIFY (7) is having his first look at this track. Scored in best time on card (34.22) latest winning by 4 lengths at Sandown in a Grade 4/5. Has performed well from this box with a win and two minor placings to his name from five starts. Capable of going well again. FLYING SARA (4) steps out for the first time at this circuit. In the money last start when second (38.72) at Ballarat over 660m. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Leading player again. TAWNY TEARS (6) is not to be discarded.

Racing well without winning, recording three minors on end, the latest hitting the ground running with a fast early sectional but finishing in the minors again when third (43.36) over 730m at Angle Park. Form from this box is very strong, including two wins. Hard to beat.

Finished third last start (28.51) at big odds over 500m at this track. Has a low draw. Will need plenty of luck.

Had been in consistent form with three minors on end before missing the frame last start when fourth (34.98) at Sandown. Has a low draw but looks safely held.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when second (38.72) over 660m at Ballarat. Tricky draw to overcome. Cannot be ruled out.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when second (31.96) over 545m at Ballarat. Has a wide draw to navigate but in the mix on her best form.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at Sandown over 595m in 34.22 last start, beating Taw Major. Strong form emerging from the that last run. Leading chance.

Did a good job two starts back at Ballarat to win by 2 lengths in 31.36, beating Archer Sweet. Last start finished 4th on October 9 over 500m at this track behind Paw Yaris beaten 4 lengths (28.46) in a Restricted WIN. Cannot enthuse on this occasion.
