Bendigo Race 7 - Billee Legends Pace
SIR SONNY MAGUIRE (1) had been racing consistently before a well-deserved win at this circuit last time out, working from a back row draw before scoring by 4m. Steps up in grade but is aided by the ace draw. MY LITTLE BO (8) ran into a good bunch off fillies when resuming in a Nutrien heat so will find this easier and will be better for the hitout. Goes very well at this distance with three wins and two placings from seven tries. Contender. I OF THE HURRIKANE (2) steps up in grade but has come from tougher draws to win her past two outings, the latest at this venue and distance. Must respect winning form. ALFNALMA (7) draws wide but did a good job to clock in second last time at Ararat.

Going well. Last start won a big 4 m win as favourite (Sr2) at this track (2:39.60) beating Alabama Ice in NR up to 49 on April 2 at $1.65 at the bell was leading 4.31. Draws to advantage and expected to go close again.

Six-year-old mare is racing in fine form. Won her last two outings at this track and Maryborough. Last start won by 4.5 m as favourite (Sr3) at this track (1:59.50) beating Monsieur Flamel in NR up to 49 on April 9 at $2.20 at the bell was 5th-8.42. Low draw and looks a big chance again.
