Bendigo Race 5 - Braidies Tavern
PEAKY COLLINDA (8) has shown good improvement at his last two starts, rewarded with a win last time at this track over 425m. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Can continue on his winning ways. GOOSEBUMPS RICO (1) was safely held last time out, finishing seventh at this track over 425m behind Aston Commander (24.46) in a Grade 5. Expected to give a good account. NOBLE DASH (3) jumped well from this draw last time and was prominent throughout before holding second (22.37) in a Rank Limit - Grade 5 at Shepparton over 390m. Must include in calculations. SMART AS ROSE (4) generally performs well from this box.

Got back last start and could only manage sixth but before that won by 1.3 lengths at Warrnambool (22.14) beating Doongalla Shane in a Grade 5 on October 8. Prefer to watch at this stage.

Finished in the minors last time in a Grade 5 at Shepparton when a 2 length second but did run a handy 22.22 over the 390m journey. Looking to others this time.
