Bendigo Race 7 - Simonds Homes Bendigo Pace
TEX GOES BANG (5) put the writing on the wall when runner-up after racing parked two back then led from this barrier last time out and saluted at Shepparton, getting home by 4 metres. Up in grade but going well so can make it two on the bounce. OUTA THE BLUE (4) was a Kilmore winner three back and produced a good performance at her latest appearance at this venue, beaten 6 metres into third. Draws lower so has winning claims. SALSBOY (2) has finished top-four in all three starts since a Charlton win, coming from wider to miss by a head at this circuit and distance last time. Player from a favourable draw. ALLGOOD VINNIE (7) came from this barrier for third most recently at Ballarat, his fourth successive placing since a Kilmore win. Respect.
