Bendigo Race 5 - Simonds Homes Bendigo Pace
KIMCHI (4) came from wider than this when fifth in a higher-graded race last start at Ballarat, beaten less than 4 metres. Was going well prior, recording two wins and a second from his previous three starts. Big chance. MIKI MARK (1) has been quite consistent from wider or second row barriers of late. Better served by the ace draw and placed after racing parked the last time he raced here. SALSBOY (7) has to come into calculations on the back of some strong recent form, most recently when third from a similar draw at this circuit and distance. TEX GOES BANG (3) draws much better than last start and had put together a string of top-two finishes prior.

Failed to impress last start; 11th (Sr5) over 1690m at Shepparton, beaten 40 m by Watch Your Back (2:03.00) on May 19 at $18. Showed ability the race before when he won by a nose (Sr1) at this track (2:39.50) beating Glenline in on May 13 at $3.50. Better drawn and expected to bounce back.

Two back was well beaten into fifth behind Outa The Blue at this track over 2150m on May 6 at $8.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.4 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Tex Goes Bang at this track over 2150m on May 13 at $9.50. Has winning claims.
