Bendigo Race 2 - Vale Geoff Turner Pace
BIGBASHASH (8) made an immediate impact on debut a week-and-a-half ago, scoring by 4 metres over 1785m at Stawell. Can settle just behind them and wait on the sprint lane. Won't find this any harder and she can go right on with the job. FLOJOS BEST (9) recorded a strong performance last time when she battled on bravely to just miss out over 1770m at Albury. Has the talent to take care of this field. WAZOWSKI (3) is in the mix following a respectable third at her most recent appearance over 2180m at Kilmore. Top-three candidate. CHOGI NZ (7) must be respected after scoring last start by one metre at Stawell over 1785m. Include in calculations.

Didn't do much at the last run, 9th (Fr2) over 1690m after showing early pace at Maryborough was 9th-13.6 at the bell, beaten 17 m by Written In Silk (2:04.80) in NR up to 50 M on February 11 at $23. Before that 7th (Fr6) over 2190m at Maryborough was 4th-6.2 at the bell, beaten 17 m by Muselet (2:42.50) in NR up to 45 on February 4 at $26. Draws the inside but it has been a long while between drinks so happy to overlook.

Last start was well back in the run when 5th (Fr5) over 1690m at Maryborough, at the bell was 7th-8.8 beaten 11 m by Written In Silk (2:04.80) in NR up to 50 M on February 11 at $21. At the run before 5th (Sr1) over 2200m at Ballarat was leading by 1.58 at the bell, beaten 7 m by Feel The Reign (2:47.40) in NR up to 47 on January 29 at $4.80. Capable of a better showing from the low draw.

Fair run when beaten by 5.5 m finishing third behind Highlandhartbreaka at Melton over 2240m in a NR 45 to 50 on January 30 at $4.80. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing third behind Always A Showgirl at Kilmore over 2180m in a NR up to 50 on February 12 at $3.10. Rates highly and expected to go well from a low draw.

Three-year-old filly facing the starter for the second time. Won at debut when on from midfield and posted a big 4 m win (Fr5) at Kilmore (2:03.30) beating Keayang Alabama in 3yo MAIDEN on February 12 at $26 at the bell was 4th-4.94. This looks a far sterner task.

Was on debut on the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 4 m as favourite (Fr5) at Stawell (2:11.10) beating Allgood Vinnie in MAIDEN on February 9 at $1.40 at the bell was 2nd-1. Shows promise and strips fitter.

Two back was twelfth after showing early speed, behind Interpretation at Shepparton over 2190m in a NR 53 to 58 on February 3 at $5.50. Then a handy effort when a close second after a quick start, behind Pirani Princess at Albury over 1770m in a NR up to 47 on February 13 at $2.30. Should be in the mix again.
