Stawell Race 1 - Bet365 Mdn Plate
BAKERSBEND (2) on top. Two runs to date have netted two minor placings, finding the line strongly from back in the field at Sandown Lakeside last time out. That's top form for this and with even luck he'll be too good for these. The danger is DARK SIMBA (6) who resumes. Form last time in reads very well for this, albeit he got over further. The debut run over this trip was just fair but he should've improved and can get away with it on class. BELLE FROM HELL (11) improved nicely last start at Murray Bridge and won't need to improve too much more to be figuring prominently. DARKBONEE (7) is a gelding by Palentino on debut for the Wilde yard who can run well.

Gelding by Reward For Effort facing the starter for the first time. Fitter for a jump-out on April 1 at Ararat when finished fifth. Did not show a great deal at the trials and prefer to see in a race before backing.

Having third race start. When well in the market at debut, 3rd in a small field at Ararat 3yo Mdn-Sw on March 27 over 1106m, 1.75 len behind Edges Diamond carrying 58kg at $5. Second-up came home strongly from last on the turn; 2nd of 8 at Sandown-Lakeside 3yo Mdn on April 9 over 1200m, 0.5 len behind Santa Ana Moon with 58kg at $12. Will take plenty of beating.

Having third race start. When well in the market at debut, 3rd of 9 at Geelong 3yo Mdn-Sw on March 15 over 1200m, 0.6 len behind Tommyess carrying 58kg at $2.60. Second-up raced on the pace before fading 7th of 9 at Pakenham 3yo Mdn-Sw on April 3 over 1200m, 5 len behind Zunna with 58kg at $7. Draws out again but represents a major threat.
