Bendigo Race 8 - Yorkshire Park Standardbred Pace
ANIMADO (1) finished seventh last start over 2180m at Kilmore, beaten 14 metres, after filling a minor placing at the previous appearance over 2190m at Shepparton. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw and has the class to take care of this field. FEEL THE REIGN (11) has recorded two wins and three minor placings from the past five starts. Performed well once again when second at his latest appearance over 2180m at Kilmore, beaten 2 metres. May just need a bit of luck at some point from this difficult draw. Ideally placed and is sure to be there at the finish. TOO THE MAX (10) is the next elect off a last-start win by a nose at Terang over 1680m. RANDOM MAHONEY (9) is next in line but might need a few good breaks from an awkward draw.

Last start 7th (Sr1) over 2180m at Kilmore beaten 14 m by Monsieur Flamel (2:45.30) in NR up to 55 on February 12 at $2.30. Before that, a solid effort when 2nd (Sr1) over 2190m at Shepparton, at the bell was 5th-7.74 beaten 1.4 m by Interpretation (2:41.30) in NR 53 to 58 on February 3 at $23. May pay to overlook the run as he looks well-placed to bounce back to form.

Improved last start with a game effort despite getting well back, when 3rd (Fr6) over 2180m at Kilmore, beaten 6 m by Monsieur Flamel (2:45.30) in NR up to 55 on February 12 at $7. Has a low draw and will go well again.

Returns from the paddock. At the latest first-up run 7th (Fr1) over 2150m at this track, beaten 12 m by Major Bert (2:38.00) in NR 50 to 55 on March 5 at $9.50. Has only trialled once and might be short on fitness.

Seven-year-old mare showed improvement last start. 2nd (Fr2) over 1609m after showing early speed at Cranbourne was leading by 3.8 at the bell, beaten a neck by Rolinginthedeep (1:54.60) in NR 53 to 58 on February 8 at $41. The run before was not as impressive when well beaten into seventh after a quick start, behind Kia Ora Beauty at Kilmore over 1690m in a NR 56 to 62 on January 15 at $26. Not keen.
