Bendigo Race 8 - Braidies Tavern
ZELDA BRAGA (1) impressed last time when clocked a slick 28.17 to finish second behind Paw Vortex in a new PB this course and distance. Rates a top chance if runs up to latest. PAW RAYNOR (4) showed good early burn but run over late to finish 5th at Sandown in Grade 4/5 company. Cannot be taken lightly. NEO DEVERE (7) is a talented type and proved too strong last time to win by 4 lengths at this track in a handy 28.00 beating Bomb Over. Winner at his latest appearance in the quickest time on the card. Leading chance again. WHIRLER (2) is another with top-three prospects.

Had been racing in honest fashion, recording three placings in a row, before finishing seventh (25.83) at Shepparton last start. Aided by a low draw but prefer each-way.

Got back last start and could only manage eighth but before that won by 1.5 lengths at Sandown (29.97) beating Paw Jasta in a Grade 5 on October 26. Has ability and worth including.

Hasn't threatened at his last couple but he has solid credentials over this track and distance. Has a blistering 27.97 best time at this course and distance. Big chance.

Has finished fifth at his last couple of starts, most recently at Ballarat over 450m. Happy enough to dismiss in this field.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early split and went straight to the front, scoring an all the way win (28.00) over 500m at this track. Ran the fastest time on the program in that last win. Follow up.

Showed blistering pace early and stuck on well despite missing the frame, finishing fourth over 500m this track in 28.21. Top-three hope with the right run.
