Bendigo Race 4 - Sportsbet Feed (1-2 Wins) (300+ Rank)

BACK TALK (1) is better than last start when fifth (26.76) in a T3 RSTW at Geelong over 460m. Comes out of a solid form race last start. Should be very hard to beat this time. RAE'S RAINBOW (8) hit the ground running from a squeeze draw and prominent early but run ended and faded to finish 5th at Shepparton in Bottom Up - Restricted Win company. Bold showing expected. MISS BARBIE (7) finds it hard to break through. Continues to race well, filling the minors at the last three starts, the latest when third (22.85) at Shepparton. Can feature again. THERMAL SMOKE (3) is worth including after a top-three finish as favourite most recently.

Inside draw could be an advantage. Last start finished fifth over 425m at this track, beaten 13 lengths (25.27) behind Wall House in a Bottom Up - Restricted Win on March 14. Capable of taking this out.
