Bendigo Race 7 - Ag Tyres & Wheels

DEAR CARLA LOU (7) has raced below best last couple, the latest managing only 7th (30.05) last time in a Grade 4/5 at Sandown. Has won here at this journey. The form from her last run is stacking up nicely. Rates on top in this line up. PAW ESTRELLA (2) had a tough draw to overcome and was game in defeat when only 1.5 lengths from Mr. Kia Ora in third (22.20) at Shepparton. Winning chance. BLACK MARVEL (1) ran below best last time finishing fourth (24.08) over 425m at this track from Box 8. Has a strong record out of this box with two wins and a minor placing from four starts. Key runner who gets his chance to atone. SHE LIKES BEER (4) has a solid strike rate at this distance.
