Bundaberg Race 5 - The Waves Sports Club (Bm50)
DASHING HOPE (5) showed little early speed last start and failed to come on in the straight when sixth over 1400m at Sunshine Coast. Finds a more suitable contest and can find winning form. FOUR LEAF WONDER (3) was below his best last time when seventh over 1200m at Thangool. Has the ability to figure prominently. BRAIDWOOD QUEEN (4) improved sharply on her fifth two starts back at Kilcoy with a win as favourite over 1470m at Gympie two weeks ago, getting home by 5 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. MASALI RAFFA (6) ran below expectations last time at Thangool, finishing fifth. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time.

Second run back. First-up after four months second last of 8 at Rockhampton Cl2 on February 24 over 1200m, slow going 6 len behind Limero with 56.5kg at $31. Previously second-up came from midfield; 3rd of 10 at Mackay Mdn on September 4 over 1300m, 6 len behind Presszora carrying 57.5kg at $13. Can do much better this time with the run under his belt.

Dual acceptor. Most recently eased back early on 6th of 8 at Sunshine Coast F&M Bm60 on March 6 over 1400m, on heavy track; 8 len behind Echo Hunter with 56.5kg at $31. The start before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 7 at Doomben Cl1-Sw on February 11 over 1350m, on a slow track; 2 len behind Bells Of Steel carrying 58kg at $101. Capable of a big run.

Third-up today. Resuming second last of 10 at Nanango 0 - 55 on February 14 over 1000m, slow going 8 len behind Bordeaux Hopper carrying 56kg at $26. Last start 3rd of 7 at Gympie Bm50 on February 28 over 1470m, 5.5 len behind Braidwood Queen carrying 57kg at $10. Rather invest elsewhere.
