Bendigo Race 11 - Sportsbet Fast Form (275+Rank (275+Rank)
TALTARNI BLUE (1) missed the frame last time but prior to that was an effortless Grade 5 winner (24.05) at this track, scoring by 6 lengths. Key player on best and expected to bounce back. ARCHIE'S GIFT (7) hit the ground running last time with a fast early split and never headed, leading throughout to win by 3.5 lengths (22.28) over 390m at Shepparton. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings four times from six starts. Has definite claims. CHAIN DRIVE (6) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing sixth (25.29) last time in a Grade 5 at this track. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. CASH ME OUT (2) was out of the frame here most recently but can atone.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage sixth last time out over 400m at Geelong. Can't recommend her in this.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at Shepparton over 390m in 22.28 last start, beating Is He Lucky. Yet to win but has been in the money four times from six starts off this box. Right in the mix.
