Bendigo Race 9 - Alabar Bloodstock 2Yo Maiden Pace
CARDIGAN SNIPER (7) is a colt by Ultimate Sniper on debut from the powerhouse Emma Stewart yard. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw but he comes off a trial placing and this barn always has their juveniles ready to go. WESTERIA (3) was on debut last time out and created a good impression, drifting back from a wider barrier but making up plenty of ground for second at Cranbourne. Draws better and is open to natural improvement. GRANDIOSA (1) is at the track for the first time. By Huntsville and hails from the Julie Douglas stable. Readied with a trial win and gets the ace draw so anticipating a bright start to her career. WICKED TORQUE (4) is an exotic hope following a fourth from this barrier at her most recent appearance here.

Two-year-old filly lining up for the second time. At debut solid effort when 2nd (Fr5) over 1609m at Cranbourne was 4th-7 at the bell, beaten 5 m by Arisa (1:59.70) in MAIDEN on April 19 at $7.50. Nicely drawn and open to improvement.
