Race comment
OVERVIEW: BRAVE BONDI (10) is a former New South Wales trained pacer, which ran his best race in Victoria to date when he finished well for second at Bendigo last outing. He should continue to improve with the benefit of experience and is the top pick in a very open race. SPACEWRITER (6) progressed forward to race without cover early, found the back of the leader with a lap remaining and tried hard for second behind Alcatraz Girl at Bendigo on Wednesday night. He is usually competitive against this class and should go well again. KIDWITHAGRIN (5) used plenty of energy to find the lead early before taking cover when seventh at Charlton last outing. His form prior was sound including a victory at Melton on November 29 so he is worth another chance. IAMAWINGATE (11) won at Melton last outing and is worth thought again despite the wide draw. BLACKMIRRA (8) is better than her form reads and is a possible improver. EARLY SPEED: 4 (possible leader), 5,6 RATINGS: 6,10/ 5,11/ 8/ 7

OVERVIEW: BRAVE BONDI (10) is a former New South Wales trained pacer, which ran his best race in Victoria to date when he finished well for second at Bendigo last outing. He should continue to improve with the benefit of experience and is the top pick in a very open race. SPACEWRITER (6) progressed forward to race without cover early, found the back of the leader with a lap remaining and tried hard for second behind Alcatraz Girl at Bendigo on Wednesday night. He is usually competitive against this class and should go well again. KIDWITHAGRIN (5) used plenty of energy to find the lead early before taking cover when seventh at Charlton last outing. His form prior was sound including a victory at Melton on November 29 so he is worth another chance. IAMAWINGATE (11) won at Melton last outing and is worth thought again despite the wide draw.

OVERVIEW: BRAVE BONDI (10) is a former New South Wales trained pacer, which ran his best race in Victoria to date when he finished well for second at Bendigo last outing. He should continue to improve with the benefit of experience and is the top pick in a very open race. SPACEWRITER (6) progressed forward to race without cover early, found the back of the leader with a lap remaining and tried hard for second behind Alcatraz Girl at Bendigo on Wednesday night. He is usually competitive against this class and should go well again. KIDWITHAGRIN (5) used plenty of energy to find the lead early before taking cover when seventh at Charlton last outing. His form prior was sound including a victory at Melton on November 29 so he is worth another chance. IAMAWINGATE (11) won at Melton last outing and is worth thought again despite the wide draw.

Race comment
OVERVIEW: BRAVE BONDI (10) is a former New South Wales trained pacer, which ran his best race in Victoria to date when he finished well for second at Bendigo last outing. He should continue to improve with the benefit of experience and is the top pick in a very open race. SPACEWRITER (6) progressed forward to race without cover early, found the back of the leader with a lap remaining and tried hard for second behind Alcatraz Girl at Bendigo on Wednesday night. He is usually competitive against this class and should go well again. KIDWITHAGRIN (5) used plenty of energy to find the lead early before taking cover when seventh at Charlton last outing. His form prior was sound including a victory at Melton on November 29 so he is worth another chance. IAMAWINGATE (11) won at Melton last outing and is worth thought again despite the wide draw. BLACKMIRRA (8) is better than her form reads and is a possible improver. EARLY SPEED: 4 (possible leader), 5,6 RATINGS: 6,10/ 5,11/ 8/ 7
