Bendigo Race 1 - Bendigo Locksmiths Free For All
TANGO TARA NZ (10) backs up quickly after coming from a wide barrier to score at Melton on Thursday, adding to a string of wins and placings. Races well at this circuit and with even luck from the second row could go back to back. TIGER BAND WAGON (5) has the hoof on the till after second in two of his past three starts, last time out chasing along the sprint lane behind a smart one at Geelong. Owns a good record at this distance so could break through. LOUIE LOU I NZ (1) has been racing well from wider barriers with two wins and a placing from the last three starts. This is tougher but gets every chance from the inside draw. CODE BAILEY NZ (9) hasn't raced since April 2023 but has been readied with a string of trial wins and goes well fresh so must be kept safe.

Didn't do much last start, 6th (Fr1) over 2240m at Melton beaten 2 m by Bulletproof Boy (2:42.60) in No NR on December 14 at $51. Before that 6th (Sr2) over 1740m at Riverina Paceway, beaten 5 m by Scared Stiff (2:03.30) in NR up to 90 on November 29 at $2.70. Will not find this easy. Not keen on his chances in this line-up.

In good form last start. Won by 2 m as favourite when quickly away, (Fr7) at Melton (1:59.20) beating Blake Bolac in NR 65 on January 2 at $2. Two runs back solid effort when 3rd (Sr1) over 1609m at Geelong beaten 10 m by Triple Eight (1:52.70) in No NR on December 20 at $5.50. Could be hard to beat again.
