Bendigo Race 6 - Smartloans Bendigo Winter Series Nmw Pace (1st Heat)

SHAZZA LOVE (1) led from a wider barrier and drew away to cruise home in a 1609m race at Cranbourne last start, the second win from her past three outings. Taking on a better field but she has the speed to take advantage of the ace draw so she is capable of running another big race. GUNFORHIRE (7) drew on the second row and settled a long way back last time out but surged home and saluted by 3 metres in a nice return to form at Melton. The driver has some work to do from this wide starting position but he finds another nice race and may take beating. WHERE IS WOODY (2) draws well and is a chance to break through after adding to his consistent form with a good effort last time out when he finished third at Melton. SPORTSBOU (3) draws well again and must be respected again after scoring last start by a neck at Ballarat.

Solid run when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Heatseeker at Melton over 2240m on May 9 at $10. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Most Exciting at Melton over 2240m on May 23 at $19. Starts from a good draw and may be tough to beat.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Fr3) over 2240m at Melton was 3rd-7.07 at the bell, beaten 6 m by Gunforhire (2:41.60) on May 23 at $10. Showed ability the race before when he posted a big 4 m win as favourite when quickly away, (Fr3) at Mildura (2:43.00) beating Nevs Dream in on May 15 at $2.10. Capable of taking this out.
