Bendigo Race 4 - J & A Mazzetti Painting Pace
BETTORSWEETVICTORY (2) backs up after she was a beaten favourite at Cranbourne on Sunday but had been racing well with a series of top-four finishes prior including a a narrow defeat from a much wider barrier here two back. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run so worth another chance. TOPHUT JOHNY (1) has been coming from the back row of late but scored a Cranbourne win the last time he started on the front line last month. Should get his chance from the ace draw. BLUE CANNON (9) may need a touch of luck from this draw but did a good job in finishing runner-up at this circuit and distance last time out. FAVOURITEHIGHLIGHT (4) has produced a couple of nice efforts since a Kilmore win and should be at her peak.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 10th (Sr3) over 1650m at this track was 9th-15.18 at the bell, beaten 8 m by Tex Goes Bang (1:58.50) on June 10 at $71. The run previous 6th (Sr3) over 1690m at Shepparton beaten 11 m by Alcatraz Girl (2:03.60) on June 2 at $13. Nicely drawn this time and can bounce back.
