Sale Race 8 - Special K Classic
HERE COMES BILLY (3) has a strong record this trip with 14 wins and eight placings from 23 starts. Scored by a neck last time (23.63) in a Free For All over 425m at Bendigo. Rates on top and should go close. DR. ZAIDEN (1) got the job done again after running them ragged to make it two on end at Traralgon over 425m (23.80). Goes very well from this draw with three wins and two minor placings from six starts. In top form and looks a key chance again. DR. TESSA (8) was beaten for speed from wide out but attacked the line strongly to place, 3 lengths from the winner (24.70) at this track in Grade 4/5. Expected to feature. JOEY (7) is a last-start placegetter worth considering.

Was a little disappointing last start, fading in the run home at this track over 435m. The start prior was at her best with a half a length win over 435m at this track. Predicted to struggle on this occasion.

Won again in an impressive display after running them ragged claiming his four straight wins at Bendigo over 425m (23.63). Makes strong appeal on recent runs.

Flew the lids with a quick early split but had to settle for the minor money when third (24.06) over 425m at Traralgon. The form from the last run stacks up well. Worth including.
