Bendigo Race 1 - Bendigo Mazda Mdn Plate
Only three left in this post-scratchings which is a shame. Leaning to the newcomer in the form of SALAMANCA SIX (4), a gelding by So You Think on debut for the Dom Sutton yard. He looked good winning a recent Flemington jumpout and looks ready to run a big race. JUST RELEASED (3) is a gelding by Wandijna for the Johnstone yard who looked handy winning a recent trial here. Tactics in the small field will be interesting but he looked to handle the heavy ground at least. BRENIN (2) struggled on debut here in a decent maiden, doing a bit wrong. Comes back in trip and gets blinkers (and Damian Lane) on and could improve.
