Bendigo Race 6 - Wayne Smith Memorial
AUNTY CHERYL (6) caught the eye with a fast early split and setting up a 3.5 lengths win at Ballarat over 390m in 22.50. Expected to be right there at the finish again. HARRY ZOOM (7) produced a modest effort most recently when eighth at Shepparton over 450m behind Big Boy Cabang (26.73) in a Bottom Up - Grade 5. Was in the money prior to that. Must be included in calculations. DESTINI REBEL (8) doesn't have the best strike-rate but recent form is sound. Has been in the money the last three starts, the latest when second (25.98) at Shepparton. Form at the trip sound including seven wins. Winning chance. RUBY'S SHOW (2) comes into calculations after placing at big odds most recently.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when third (24.69) over 425m at this track. Draws the cherry this time. Prefer others.

Hit the frame latest (22.84) when third at Warrnambool in a Grade 5. Goes very well from the draw boasting three victories and three places from 10 starts. Can feature with the right run.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fifth last time out over 425m at this track. Be tough to make an impression against this lot.

Latest effort finished last over 450m at Shepparton beaten 19 lengths (26.73) behind Big Boy Cabang in a Bottom Up - Grade 5 on March 26. Recorded two placings in a row prior to the latest effort. Worth another chance.

Form has been solid with minor placings at his last three starts. Last time out finished 2nd on March 26 over 450m at Shepparton behind Lucky Lisa beaten 3.5 lengths (25.98) in a Bottom Up - Grade 5. Looks a solid hope.
