Bendigo Race 8 - Spring H2o Graduation Series 3Yo Pace (2Nd Heat)
MIDNIGHT MOTH (4) is a progressive colt who made it two from two when coming from this barrier to score by 10 metres at this circuit and distance a fortnight ago. He could be bound for better things so looks tough top stop again. ROCKNROLL WISH NZ (6) has not raced for six-and-a-half months but showed ability at the maiden campaign, finishing it off with back-to-back wins. That included his lone attempt at this circuit and distance and he was readied for his return with a recent trial placing. SOHO AMARYLLIS (1) jumps in grade but had this same draw when breaking her maiden at this circuit and distance last week. SECRET SERVICE AGENT NZ (7) is first up for seven months after showing consistent form last time in. Draws wide but was readied with a trial win.

Last start was well back in the run when 2nd (Fr6) over 2190m at Shepparton was 5th-10.49 at the bell, beaten a nose by Whenimready (2:45.00) in MAIDEN on May 12 at $9. Two runs back 7th (Sr6) over 2190m at Shepparton, beaten 15 m by Cocosworld (2:43.90) in 3yo MAIDEN on May 3 at $101. This looks a far sterner task.
