Bendigo Race 1 - Sandhurst Stockfeeds Trainer Of The Month Pace
BETTORSWEETVICTORY (8) continues to race well having only once missed the top-three in her last eight starts. Added to that record at her latest appearance when she came from this barrier and got the job done by 4 metres at Shepparton. Primary contender. BYRNESIDE BOOM (9) made it two wins from the last four starts when he came from this row to score by a nose at Kilmore last time. Proven at this circuit and distance. Leading hope. POLLY PEACHUM (2) has been solid from the back row at her last couple and draws better. The ace draw can spark improvement from MISTER FONZI (1).

Last start was well beaten into sixth behind Highview Hammer at Maryborough over 1690m in a NR up to 45 on April 20 at $5.50. Performed better the start before with a game effort when 3rd (Sr4) over 1755m at Echuca, beaten 1.4 m by Kimchi (2:09.90) in NR 38 to 44 on April 5 at $3.80. Draws well so can play a major role.

Lines up again after a break of 14 months. Well beaten at the end of his last preparation when sixth unwanted in the market behind Luv The Nitelife. Recent trials will help bring him on but a lack of race-fitness might work against.
