Bendigo Race 5 - Ladbrokes Tote Win +10% (Bm66)
Tricky but it's hard to knock the unbeaten IMPERIAL AWARD (5) who made it 2/2 with a tough win in a Class 1 at Geelong last time out, off a let up there having beaten a handy one on debut at Bairnsdale. Soft ground shouldn't pose an issue and he can continue to improve. EGERTON (14) presents third up and ready to do something. The fresh run was solid before getting a long way back at Mornington in a BM78. She can improve. IMMORTAL TRIUMPH (8) won two on the bounce prior to last start at Caulfield Heath when fading. He can settle handy and bounce back. BARDIA'S DREAM (15) was poor last time when in the market but did go well on heavy ground at Seymour prior and that form reads well. PRINCE PIENZA (17) was solid fresh at Ballarat and can improve although very wet ground would be a query.
