Bendigo Race 8 - J & A Mazzetti Painting Pace

OLIVER DAN (7) is finding it hard to break through but is ticking along well with a series of close-up efforts, beaten only 2.8 metres at Melton last time. Must overcome a very wide draw but has his hoof on the till and has won two of three tries here. CALEXICO (5) resumes from a spell of three months after closing off last campaign in good form, chasing a smart one when second last start and winning three back at Melton. Loves this distance winning four of five attempts and has won when fresh before. HES NO ROMEO NZ (2) should enjoy a low draw having come from the back row and worked when racing wide before proving too good here last time. OUR LUCIANO (6) resumes but hasn't missed a place when fresh and races well here so keep safe.
