Bendigo Race 2 - Simonds Homes Bendigo Maiden Pace
DIEING FEAR (9) started a hot favourite when resuming but did some work and clocked in fourth at Shepparton. Draws on the back row but is lightly raced and has scope for improvement so is worth another chance. MIDNIGHT ALIBI (8) is a daughter of Sweet Lou making her debut for Brent Curran. Looks to be ready to go after winning her latest trial at this circuit and draws to enjoy a nice trail with access to the sprint lane. LUVN OSMAN (12) could be close to a win after placing in three of his last four starts, the latest a third when off this row at Shepparton. KYORETSU (6) hasn't been too far from the placings from back row draws in both outings so far. Go well.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing seventh after showing early speed, behind Mighty Bling at this track over 2150m in a 3yo MAIDEN on March 26 at $14. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.75 m finishing third behind Magnetic Storm at Shepparton over 1690m in a 3yo MAIDEN on April 8 at $34. Can improve. Can give a good account.
