Bendigo Race 6 - Sheahan Plumbing Maiden Pace
ASHANTE BOURBON (5) is a three-year-old filly by American Ideal on debut for the Jim O'Sullivan stable. Showed some ability when a minor placegetter in a recent trial here so should be ready to go. BOUNCED (9) was runner-up at this venue when resuming before a fourth last start at Shepparton. Draws on the back row this time but should be hitting peak fitness third up as should ELLIANA (6) who draws wider but has been good in finishing in the placings in both starts so far this preparation. MACHFREDDY (3) was not a factor last start but will be ready to peak third-up. Placed fresh two back and gets a nice draw.

Last start 4th (Fr2) over 1650m after showing early speed at this track beaten 21 m by Soho Amaryllis (1:59.60) in MAIDEN on May 13 at $18. At the run before 12th (Sr2) over 1710m at Ballarat, beaten 24 m by Lower West Side (2:05.80) in 4yo+ MAIDEN on April 30 at $26. Fitter now and should get his chance from the pegs.

Returns to racing after a spell of 13 months. Well beaten at the end of her last preparation at this course and distance when eleventh at very long odds behind Yankee Captain. Has been in work for a little while but after a lengthy break may need the run.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 7th (Fr4) over 1609m at Charlton was 6th-13.6 at the bell, beaten 17 m by American Guy (1:58.50) in MAIDEN on May 8 at $6.50. At his previous start game effort despite getting well back, when 3rd (Fr6) over 1690m at Shepparton was 4th-8.71 at the bell, beaten 7 m by Captain Locksley (2:06.20) in MAIDEN on April 28 at $6.50. Has a low draw and further improved so may find his best.

Finished third at her last two starts since resuming from a spell. Last outing was beaten 5.5 metres behind Whenimready at Shepparton over 2190m MAIDEN on May 12. Racing well and is likely to play a role again.

Comes here second-up after two weeks. Lacklustre first-up performance when 7th (Sr1) over 1690m at Shepparton beaten 20 m by Roman Scrittore (2:03.10) in 4yo+ MAIDEN on May 5 at $81. Has the job ahead against this lot.
