Bendigo Race 5 - Impact-A Fasteners & Construction Supplies Mares Pace
DIVINE TILLY (1) was a beaten favourite last start but wasn't too far off the placings. This is a little stronger but she owns a decent record at this circuit and distance and should get the favours from the ace draw. RAKAROMPA NZ (6) resumes from a spell of five months after closing off the last campaign in good form, the last run being a solid third at Cranbourne. Has won when fresh before and should be ready to go off two solid trials. MADAM REACTOR (7) draws wider but is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by a head at this venue. ASMILEANDAWINX (3) has drawn to advantage and owns a decent strike rate here.

Recent efforts haven't been up to her best. Last start 6th (Fr2) over 2150m at this track was 3rd-8.52 at the bell, beaten 7 m by Madam Reactor (2:36.50) in NR 43 to 49 on May 13 at $3.30. The start before 9th (Fr2) over 1650m at this track beaten 25 m by Midnight Moth (1:56.60) in NR 50 to 55 on May 6 at $51. Has the inside draw which may spark a revival.

Comes here second-up after two weeks. Lacklustre first-up performance when 9th (Fr3) over 1650m at this track, beaten 25 m by Byrneside Boom (1:57.90) in NR 45 to 49 on May 6 at $19. May need more racing.

Resuming after five months off the scene. Finished off last campaign when beaten by 7 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Auckland Red at Cranbourne over 1609m in a NR 53 to 58 on December 21 at $9.50. Looking for a strong return.

Showed ability the outing before when she posted a big 4.5 m win (Sr3) at Albury (2:12.20) beating Topzavski in NR up to 45 on May 1 at $4.40 at the bell was leading 2.2. Forward performance expected.

Last start 10th (Fr6) over 2190m after being wide early at Shepparton, beaten 70 m by All Over It (2:40.00) in NR up to 55 on May 3 at $81. Two runs back game effort when 2nd (Fr5) over 2150m after showing early pace at this track was 5th-9.9m 2WWC at the bell, beaten 18 m by Romeo (2:36.90) in 2yo No NR on November 26 at $17. Will take a lot from that run so is in the mix.
