Bendigo Race 5 - Gold Central Victoria 4yo & Older Mdn Pace
MIDNIGHT ALIBI (4) started a hot favourite last start but manners let her down. She is starting to prove costly but there looks to be some ability there if the penny drops. This is suitable so prepared to give her another chance. OPERTSER (8) added to a series of top-four finishes with another solid performance last start, battling on to finish third at Shepparton. Shouldn't spend a penny from this draw and the sprint lane may come in handy. Could take care of this line-up. WICKED ONE (1) had a tough barrier last time but is much better served by the ace draw here and there had been merit in his prior efforts. DIAMONDONTHEROCKS (5) should enjoy going up to a distance where he has placed in two of three attempts.

Recent efforts have been modest. Last start was well back in the run when 7th (Fr4) over 2190m at Shepparton, beaten 45 m by Interestinme (2:45.20) on May 12 at $1.95. The start before 12th (Fr4) over 2190m after showing early pace at Maryborough well beaten by Posterman (2:43.40) in 4yo+ on April 20 at $4. This looks a winnable assignment.

Good run when beaten by 3 m finishing third behind Bobbys Room at Ballarat over 2200m in a 4yo+ on May 28 at $101. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third after showing early speed, behind Katie Lorraine at Shepparton over 1690m in a 4yo+ on June 2 at $31. Close to a win.
