Bendigo Race 2 - Sportsbet Ht1 (1-4 Wins)
RITA PAIGE (3) hit the ground running off the inside draw with a fast early sectional but run over late and missed the frame when a 1.5 lengths fifth (24.30) over 425m at this track. Can bounce back. LOCHINVAR THOR (1) is an honest type in the frame at 10 of 19 starts including last time when second (25.45) over 450m at Warrnambool. Has the ability and rates a key chance this line-up. WHO SHE RULES (2) finds it hard to win. Hit the board with a minor placing last time when second (24.28) at this track. Solid record here at the distance winning two races. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings two times from three starts. Bold showing expected. CANYA TALK NOW (7) won last start in very good time. Big chance on that form.

Flew the lids with a fast early split and led until late but gathered in when a neck second at Warrnambool over 450m in 25.45. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last time. Follow up.

Working his way into winning form after his success on June 9 at Horsham over 410m. Last start was fifth over 425m in 24.16, behind Flying Maverick. Not far away last start. Right in the mix again.

Did a good job two starts back at Warragul to win by 3 lengths in 22.83, beating Track Thirteen. Last start finished last in a Mix 6/7 FIN on June 16 over 400m at Warragul behind Ring A Bluey beaten 7 lengths (23.24). Needs to find a bit more.

Good performance to win by 2 lengths at Q Lakeside over 457m (25.39) beating Heroic Federer in Grade 5 on June 20. Comes out of a hot form race. Worth following up.

Well supported here last start but couldn't repay punters, finishing finished 5th over 300m at Healesville beaten 1.3 lengths (17.00) behind Lakers Legend in a Grade 5 on June 28. Placed two back at Warragul. Leading chance on best form.

Disappointed last time but just missed the placings two back over 450m at Shepparton. Other runners look much more appealing.
