Bendigo Race 8 - Ag Tyres And Wheels (300+)
SWEET BEGONIA (6) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing seventh (26.19) last time in a Grade 5 at Shepparton. Can bounce back. ARGYLE WHISKEY (5) flew the lids from out wide with an impressive turn of foot, going on to clock 25.71 when a 0.8 lengths winner over 450m at Shepparton last time. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in her latest win. Expecting another bold showing. LAURA MAY (8) finished second (28.74) two back at this track but out of the placings last time when 6th at Sandown. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and three minor placings to her credit. Has the ability to give this a shake. STORMY SECRET (1) was prominent throughout when successful last start. Right in the mix.

Didn't make the placings last time at Sandown (30.45) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 6 length sixth. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and three minors. With a clean break looks hard to beat.
