Bendigo Race 9 - Sportsbet Rank And File Cup (300+) Ht9
NICKY'S SECRET (1) has a strong record here with four wins and three placings from 10 starts. Missed the frame latest (24.69) when fifth over 425m at this track in a Grade 5. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. COCO TOMMY (3) was quickly into stride and burnt early from the middle draw where he gave a sight, finishing third (22.82) and beaten 1.75 lengths over 400m at Geelong. Must be included in calculations. ASTON HARUTO (2) was well off top last time, finishing 7th (26.03) in a Grade 5 H at Shepparton. Has never missed the frame here at the trip including one win. The form out of last race has been strong. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. NOTORIOUS BLAZE (8) must be included in calculations.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 5th over 425m at this track beaten 6 lengths (24.69) behind Tipsy Tilly in a Grade 5 on March 25. Placed two back at this track. Capable of improvement on latest effort. Well placed and should feature.

Big odds last time but hit the ground running with a strong early split, giving a sight but fading only late to finish third (22.82) at Geelong over 400m. More than capable and has to be included.
