Bendigo Race 8 - Prydes Easifeed 71St Anniversary Cup
There was plenty to like about the fresh effort of CAN BE A RUEBE NZ (4) when she drew on the back row and worked but fought well to finish 1.7 metres away in second at Shepparton. Fitter and draws on the front row this time. Primary contender. MAJOR MANBAR (7) was solid when fourth from the back row last start at Shepparton. Returns to the front row and recorded two wins and a second from the last three times he started from there so can atone. PLATINUM JIVE NZ (1) came from this barrier for a winning return at this circuit and distance then drew on the second line when runner-up at Ballarat last time out. Go well. CLEAR LEFT NZ (5) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance at Swan Hill.

Having her second run back from a spell. Game effort when 2nd (Sr3) over 2190m after racing wide at Shepparton beaten 1.75 m by Herakles (2:40.70) in NR 56 to 64 on October 29 at $17. Will be better for the fresh hitout and can go close.

Two back was well beaten into fifth behind Heza Punk Rocker at Melton over 2240m in a NR up to 80 on October 25 at $61. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Wild Bull at Swan Hill over 1750m in a NR 55 to 64 on October 31 at $5. One of the chances.
