Bendigo Race 8 - Ag Tyres And Wheels

GOLD TAG (1) made light work of the tricky draw with a quick early sectional last time clocking 27.87 in a 7 length win at this track over 500m. Winner at his latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Can go close again if runs up to latest figure. MIDNIGHT THUNDER (4) boasts a strong record this course with five wins and three minors from 12 tries. Comes off a (24.42) win last time, scoring by a head in a Special conditions race over 425m at this track. Can feature in the finish. BLACK MARVEL (3) drew an outside box and was game in defeat when only a head from the winner Paw Nimbus in second(28.35) at this track. Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Deserves a win and gets his chance. CHILL OUT PLATE (6) has hardly put a foot wrong of late and will be competitive again.

Struggling to break through but racing consistently, finishing in the minors three starts on end. Last time out flew the lids with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when second (28.35) at this track over 500m. Although unsuccessful last time still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Stick with him.

Racing well without winning, recording three minors on end, the latest hitting the ground running with a fast early sectional but finishing in the minors again when third (27.66) over 485m at Horsham. Overdue a win and gets his chance to break through.
