Bendigo Race 11 - Pink Diamond Champion Distance Ht3
MEPUNGA DONNA (7) steps out for the first time at this track. Scored in best time on card (34.60) latest winning by 1.1 lengths at The Meadows in a Grade 4/5. Recorded the quickest time on the card last start. Well placed and will be tough to beat. VISTA WEIRD (1) was strongly fancied last time on the back of a win two back but could only manage third (34.72) at The Meadows. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Expecting another good run. ELITE ONE (4) had a tricky draw and ran well to finish second, beaten 1.5 lengths, (34.67) at Sandown. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minor placings. Leading chance. LADY RAPID (2) has strong credentials from this draw.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Sandown over 595m. Last start finished 3rd over 600m at The Meadows beaten 1.75 lengths (34.72) behind Mepunga Donna in a Grade 4/5 on May 30. Thereabouts at the last couple. Suited here and likely to run well.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at The Meadows over 600m in 34.21 last start, beating Reaper. In form and is right in the mix again.

Finished second last start (34.67) over 595m at Sandown. Drawn awkwardly. One of the better hopes.

Got back last start and could only manage fifth but before that won easily by 4 lengths at The Meadows (29.96) beating Zap Devere in a Grade 4/5 on May 21. Tempted to look elsewhere.

Good performance after racing just off the speed to win by 1.1 lengths at The Meadows over 600m (34.60) beating Nigel Devere in Grade 4/5 on May 30. Consistent performer from this box. Top chance on best form.

Good effort to win last start by 2.5 lengths over 715m at Sandown in a handy (42.30), beating Fast Reply. Will find this a bit tougher, this will test.
