Bendigo Race 8 - Pink Diamond Rookie Distance Ht4
MEPUNGA RULE (8) pinged the lids and led throughout to score last start (37.63) at Warrnambool in Restricted WIN over 650m. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Can measure up again. OKAY BOSS (3) is rarely out of the finish, recording 10 places from 18 starts. Finished in the money last time though when second (29.87) at Sandown. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Bold showing expected. REGAL SPENCER (1) is worth forgiving last start after finishing seventh (40.10) from Box 3 at Warragul over 680m. Has a strong record from this draw, notching two wins and two minor placings from four starts. Can do much better this time. BOLD ASSAIL (4) must be included in calculations.

Inside draw could be an advantage. Produced a good effort last start to finish sixth over 450m at Shepparton, beaten 2 lengths (25.88) behind Phoenix Tan in a Grade 5 on June 1. Others have better credentials.
