Bendigo Race 5 - Bendigo Advertiser

SMALL MERCIES (1) doesn't win out of turn but looks close to breaking through. Has been in the money the last four starts, the latest when second (22.79) at Shepparton. Has a good record here including two wins. Capable of going well again. SUPER CEVICHE (2) was quickly into stride and burnt early from the middle draw where she gave a sight, finishing third (19.91) and beaten 0.9 lengths over 350m at Healesville. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings four times from eight attempts. Expecting another good run. CANYA IGNITE (3) is mixing form lately, finishing out of the placings last time at this track but was a Grade 5 winner two back at this track. Well placed here and should do much better. SPARK LIGHTNING (7) can run a bold race on best form.
