Bendigo Race 5 - Vhrc / Woodlands Stud Nmw Pace (2Nd Heat)
LOUGLE (8) is a newcomer to the Jamieson yard from from Tasmania where he has built a strong record, winning his last three outings. Goes very well at this distance with four wins and a placing from five attempts. Draws for a trail and could make an immediate impact. FRANCO NICKELBACK NZ (3) registered another win last time at Wagga, getting home by 1.3 metres and keeping his unblemished record intact. Up in grade but did well to overcome a second line draw last start so is well served by this barrier. DRESSED IN GOLD NZ (4) is close to a win after two successive placings at this circuit and distance, the latest a close second from a wider draw. RABADA (5) last appeared when third at this venue 10 months ago but goes well at this distance and when fresh. Readied with two trials so must be respected.

Last start then settled down to finish ninth over 1650m at this track last time out. Two runs back 3rd (Fr6) over 1755m after showing early speed at Echuca was 3rd-6.7 at the bell, beaten 12 m by Eye See Philtra (2:06.90) in NR 55 to 59 on March 10 at $10. Not keen on his chances in this line-up.
