Bendigo Race 5 - Smart Loans Bendigo (Bm56)
OVER SHADY (2) settled just off the pace then let down well to score when resuming over this distance at Donald last start. Boasts an impressive 1000m record including a couple of placings here. Nicely drawn and can keep the momentum going. LAURA'S GOLD (6) was no hope first-up after missing the kick but did gather pace late to finish less than three lengths away over today's journey at Moe. All four top three finishes have come at this trip. Sure to give a good account. VIPERION (7) made up a stack of late ground to grab second over this distance at Donald recently in a return to form. Draws the fence so she gets all the favours and should be in the finish again. ZOUROSA (3) has been competitive all prep including a close third last start in a similar race to this at Echuca 18 days ago. Is a winner here at 1000m so she is a definite contender. SNAPSHOT (1) is down in grade on her last start third at Corowa. Rarely far away - a must for trifecta and first four players.

Racing well recently. Last start 3rd of 8 at Corowa Cl3 on May 11 over 1000m, 0.5 len behind Narcissist carrying 56kg at $3.20. The run before that tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 3rd of 12 at Wodonga Bm62 on April 20 over 1100m, 0.7 len behind Before The War with 56kg at $5.50. Close to a win. Genuine filly who is down in grade and worth plenty of thought despite the big weight.

Second run back. First-up after seven months won by 0.8 len at Donald 0 - 56 May 2 over 1000m defeating Viperion with 57.5kg at $4.60. Previously second-up 11th of 13 at this track F&M Bm64 on July 13 over 1100m, on heavy track; 8 len behind Sioux Spirit with 58kg at $61. Goes well here at this trip so expect her to hold that form.

Most recently raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 11 at Echuca Bm56 on May 11 over 1000m, on a slow track; 1.1 len behind Smarticon with 59.5kg at $6.50. The race before that sat on the pace before fading 7th of 12 at Wodonga Bm62 on April 20 over 1100m, 3 len behind Before The War with 56.5kg at $6. Chery ripe and is one of the main contenders.

At the latest run was well back until straightening; raced back then made ground from the turn; won by a nose at Donald Mdn-Sw May 2 over 1000m defeating Hegely with 57.5kg at $31. The start before that 9th of 11 at Ballarat Mdn-Sw on March 20 over 1200m, 11 len behind Catwalk Icon with 57.5kg at $51. Harder this time but cannot be dismissed.

Second run back. First-up after nine months 5th of 10 at Moe Bm56 on May 12 over 1014m, on a slow track; 3 len behind Semelle Rouge carrying 59kg at $11. Previously second-up 6th of 8 at Pakenham Cl1 on May 22 2025 over 1100m, 2.25 len behind Back To The Future with 54.5kg at $4.60. Distance specialist who can improve with that first run out of the way.

Most recently ran on from midfield; 2nd of 12 at Donald 0 - 56 on May 2 over 1000m, 0.8 len behind Over Shady with 56kg at $9.50. The start before that 5th of 10 at Swan Hill Bm56 on April 12 over 975m, 3.5 len behind Reward The Sheriff carrying 57kg at $15. Encouraging effort last time and can build on that.

Last start second last of 9 at Pakenham F&M Bm62 on May 22 over 1200m, slow going 5.5 len behind Chocolate Box carrying 55kg at $101. The run before that second last of 12 at Warrnambool Bm78 on May 7 over 1100m, in the wet; 12 len behind Salsa Fellow carrying 54kg at $201. Hard to get excited about her chances.
