Bendigo Race 4 - Jarrod Larkin Concreting
RED HOT KERMARO (7) is an honest type who is new to this track. Had a squeeze draw but was too good last time scoring by 3.5 lengths at Shepparton over 450m (25.49). Hard to go past. ZIPPING SANDCHEZ (5) stalked the lead but wound up strongly to score (24.00) at this track in Grade 5 over 425m. Looks a key chance if runs up to latest figure. ROMANI ROAD (8) is better than last start when fourth (28.35) in a Grade 5 at this track over 500m. Bold showing expected. BLACK MARVEL (2) won in smart time most recently. Worth consideration.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage eighth last time out over 500m at this track. Tempted to look elsewhere.

Good effort to win last start by a neck over 450m at Shepparton in a handy (25.43), beating Zelda Braga. Can bring up a hat-trick.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage sixth last time out over 425m at this track. Prepared to just watch this time.

Eye-catching performance tracking the speed and going on to score by 2 lengths in a Grade 5 last start at this track, clocking a solid 24.00 over the 425m trip. Has the ability and looks a key chance again.

Good performance to post a big 3.5 lengths win at Shepparton over 450m (25.49) beating Westside Wizard in Grade 5 on August 3. Can make it two on the bounce.

Missed the frame last start when fourth but had been in strong form prior to that, winning two on end before placing two back. Looks a strong place chance on best figures.
