Bendigo Race 9 - Hanrahan Plumbing
FRANK GRIMES (8) was well fancied but drifted back before winding up with a late dash home to place, 2.5 lengths from the winner (22.62) at Shepparton in Grade 5. Racing well and deserves a win. JAYDEN (4) finds it hard to win. Finished in the money last time though when second (25.85) at Shepparton. Can feature again. BUST UP (6) last start finished 4th in a Grade 5 on December 15 over 390m at Ballarat behind Hot Saki beaten 8 lengths (22.97). Looks well placed here and among the chances. MIKE ANGELO ZEAL (7) is always hard to beat when he races at this trip.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (24.49) in a Grade 5, finishing a 3.5 lengths sixth. Goes well out of this box with a win and four minors. Looking to others.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage sixth last time out over 425m at this track. Looking to others this time.

Improved sharply when second behind Ned The Knight at Shepparton last start over 450m (25.85). Gets back so might need a bit of luck.

Has finished fourth at the last two runs, both at Ballarat, the latest when beaten 8 lengths behind Hot Saki over 390m. Has been thereabouts of late and is among the chances.

Missed the frame latest (17.23) when seventh over 300m at Healesville in a Grade 5. Strong record off the draw with five wins and two minors from eight starts. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts.
