Bendigo Race 11 - Braidies Tavern
KRAKEN MAIN (2) was well backed last start but ran below expectations when fourth (22.55), beaten 6 lengths. Has ability and is a key runner. CHAIN DRIVE (4) is a talented type and proved too strong last time to win by 1.3 lengths at this track in a handy 24.55 beating Gotham Thanos. Should feature again. CHAPPY'S BANSHEE (1) struggled to get involved last start after missing the jump at Geelong, but prior to that won comfortably by 5 lengths at Geelong (22.87) beating Paw Hailee in a Rank Limit - Grade 6 on August 11. The form out of her last race has been franked. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. HARTLAND BUDDY (7) is always a threat when he draws this box.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fourth last time out over 400m at Mt Gambier. Not keen this time.

Could only manage fifth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest when third (25.90) over 450m at Warrnambool. Has to overcome a wide draw and will need a little luck to feature.
