Bendigo Race 3 - Vale Brendan Drechsler Mdn Plate
STAR ANGEL (9) is yet to hit the frame but form reads well for this. Resumes in easier company and fitter for a jump-out and trial should feature fresh. STAR CANTO (10) has had three runs for three minors and has been given a good break since. Returns with the shades on and rates to feature. SUMMER SPRITZ (11) was fair on debut then improved sharply second outing. Has upside and no surprise to see her off the mark. JUST JENNI (3) gave a sight at odds on debut and should be much improved. May well be value.

Jumped at very long odds at debut, second last of 8 at Pakenham 3yo F Mdn-Sw on May 15 over 1100m, 9 len behind Tuscaloosa Gem carrying 57kg at $201. Don't think she will trouble this field.

Filly by The Autumn Sun facing the starter for the first time. Finished fourth in a Bendigo jump-out on May 19. Trained on the course and with the blinkers added worth watching.

Third-up today. First-up 8th of 12 at Seymour Mdn-Sw on April 27 over 1200m, on a slow track; 6 len behind Caleana carrying 57kg at $17. Second-up 7th of 10 at Geelong Mdn-Sw on May 9 over 1425m, 4.5 len behind Marbastion with 57.5kg at $16. Rock hard fit now and is a decent chance to break the ice.

Resuming after a lengthy spell. Only one run when 8th of 12 at Mornington F&M Mdn-Sw on September 6 over 1200m, on a slow track; 6 len behind Standing Ovation carrying 55.5kg at $17. Might be better off following this outing.

Resumes. Finished off last campaign fourth of 7 at Geelong 3yo F Mdn-Sw November 27 over 1400m, soft track; 2 len behind Cilacap with 57kg at $3.30. Previously first up; fourth in a small field at Kyneton 3yo Mdn-Sw November 6 over 1203m, 5 len behind Royal Insignia with 56kg at $3.50. Form better than it looks and ideally placed this line-up.
