Bendigo Race 10 - Nigel Milne Harness Racing (Insanity Lodge) Pace
DANGEROUS (7) is back from a spell of three-and-a-half months and looks to be right up to the mark following a recent trial win. Beat grand pacer Bulletproof Boy when scoring two back at Melton and generally comes to hand very quickly with four wins from seven first-up appearances. Has to contend with a wide draw but is well-placed to take this out. JILLIBY WILLOW (8) backs up after tackling some strong opposition on Saturday at Melton. Owns good statistics both here and at the distance and there is no harm in drawing here with the sprint lane to rely upon. ABOUTTIME (4) has had a year off but flies fresh winning four of six attempts and was readied with a trial win. Strikes at 50 per cent here so keep safe along with WESTERN SONADOR (6) who has been freshened but was kept up to the mark with two trial placings.

Seven-year-old mare showed improvement last start. 3rd (Sr1) over 2100m at Charlton, beaten 13 m by Fire Marshall (2:29.40) in NR 56 to 64 on March 15 at $41. The run before was not as impressive when well beaten into seventh after a quick start, behind Madrigal at Melton over 2240m in a Up to 80 on March 6 at $101. This looks a far sterner task.

Didn't do much last time out, 7th (Fr3) over 2240m at Melton beaten 13 m by Good Tobe Locksley (2:44.20) in NR 60 to 69 on March 14 at $10. Before that 6th (Fr3) over 2150m at Birchip, beaten 40 m by Shadow Celt (2:38.00) in 4yo+ NR up to 90 on March 8 at $34. Might need easier.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 6th (Fr3) over 2570m at Geelong was 6th-10.62 at the bell, beaten 16 m by Jilliby Nitro (3:06.40) in No NR on March 13 at $151. Two runs back 5th (Sr1) over 1680m at Terang was 6th-8.5 at the bell, beaten 12 m by Jilliby Willow (2:00.70) in NR 65 or better on March 2 at $21. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

Recent efforts haven't been up to her best. Backing up quickly after 5th (Fr2) over 1720m at Melton was 6th-9.68 at the bell, beaten 8 m by Fighter Command (1:59.00) in No NR on March 21 at $101.
