Bendigo Race 8 - Angelique Club The Pearl (1St Heat)
TIVOLI (1) resumes after showing promise at her maiden campaign, winning here on debut before back-to-back Melton placings, the latest in the Homegrown Classic 2F Final in December. Likely to have developed further with maturity and the ace draw gives her every chance for a winning return. SOAP AND BUBBLES (2) made good progress at her second start, leading from wider to win her maiden at this circuit and distance by 7.4m. The lower draw gives her the chance to take the next step. SASSY GABBY (4) has been solid of late including a Cobram win two back and strikes at 50 per cent at this distance. WICKED MITZI (5) has claims off a win from a similar barrier to this two back at Shepparton.
