Bendigo Race 2 - Ladbrokes Vobis Gold Rush
Siding with one of the newcomers, MARFFIANO (6) who is a colt by Home Affairs out of a speedy mare Miss Iano for the Hayes yard. He looked very smart winning a recent jumpout and the stable are very good with their juveniles. He can take it right up to THE SPEED MACHINE (2) who has done nothing wrong in two wins to date, too fast at Mornington again last time. The time was just fair and now to 1100m but he'll give you a huge sight again. LOCARD (11) is a well bred filly by Blue Point out of Golden Slipper winner Forensics. She's done enough at the jumpouts to suggest she'll run a strong race. RESONANT (7) is a colt by Spirit Of Boom for the Hayes yard who looks sharp and ready to go, respecting. SHAMAKITA (8) is a Shamus Award gelding for the Stokes yard who has won a jumpout showing speed and can figure.

Puts an unbeaten record on the line. When well in the market on debut, won by 3 len at Morphettville Parks 2yo C&G Bm68 March 21 over 1000m defeating Vandaross carrying 57kg at $2. Last start won by a neck at Mornington 2yo SW April 18 over 1000m defeating Luna Vega with 58kg at $3. Has done nothing wrong and will take plenty of catching.

Dual acceptor. Two-year-old colt (Home Affairs - Miss Iano). Ben, Will & Jd Hayes has him primed for this with four recent trials leading in today's debut. Ran 3rd in a trial at Caulfield Heath over 850m on April 23. Looks very smart and can win this.
