Bendigo Race 9 - Grv Vicbred Series Ht1
CANDY STRIDE (7) stalked the lead after a clean break from the tricky draw and went on to finish second (23.63) at this track in a Grade 5 over 425m. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Can go on with it. MANCHESTER TREV (4) sizzled around 435m in 24.09 when winning a Grade 5 FIN at Sale last start. Top win latest and rates a key player again. MRS. SMITH (6) filled a minor placing last start at Warragul behind Paw Danger (23.36) in a Grade 5. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings two times from four attempts. Can measure up. SCOTT GNARLY (8) was strongly fancied last time but ran below expectations when eighth (17.09), beaten 8 lengths. Has performed well from this box with a win and two minor placings to her name from five starts.

Got back last start and could only manage third but before that won easily by 3.5 lengths at Horsham (23.24) beating Cheeky Mila in a Grade 5 on October 28. Hit the frame last time but will need to improve further.

Finished in the minors last time in a Grade 4/5 at Geelong when a 5 length second but did run a convincing 22.50 over the 400m journey. Looking to others this time.

Good performance to win by 1.5 lengths at Geelong over 460m (25.68) beating Wonderful Work in Grade 5 on October 30. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.

Impressive performance leading throughout to score by a half a length in a Grade 5 FIN last start at Sale, recording a head turning 24.09 over the 435m journey. Rates a top chance again if runs up to latest.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when third (19.26) over 350m at Healesville. Has to overcome a wide draw and will need a little luck to feature.
