Bendigo Race 5 - Haeuslers Echuca Trot
ROBERT JOHN (7) wasn't disgraced when fifth in a handy line-up from a standing start last week at Horsham. Recorded back-to-back placings last month, one of them here. Has to contend with a very wide draw but with luck he has the ability to take this out. LOVE WHO (5) did a good job when he finished third in a higher-graded race last start at Ballarat. Can be right in the finish. HEART OF GRACELAND (3) draws well and is on the radar after his last-start fourth here a week ago. JOE LOU (4) backs up after breaking at Maryborough on Sunday. Can be competitive with manners.

Last start 4th (Fr5) over 2150m at this track was 5th-10.31 at the bell, beaten 12 m by Always Skye High (2:44.70) on May 27 at $8.50. Before that, 7th (Sr1) over 1710m at Ballarat, beaten 25 m by Nuclear Attitude (2:07.80) on May 14 at $26. Certainly worth another chance.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start surrendered the lead and finished 5th (FT Fr1) over 2200m at Horsham beaten 20 m by Fremarks Peggy (2:51.20) on May 25 at $21. The run before 5th (Fr2) over 2150m at this track, beaten 11 m by Allwatfunjingles (2:46.90) on May 20 at $4.80. This looks a suitable assignment.
