The Watchdog says : ASTON REINA (6) can come out running and she has the class edge over her rivals, so a top-two finish looks likely. BENCHESTER (4) is a prolific winner, and he should be leading throughout, while EXTRAVAGANCE (8) is ideally drawn out wide and she will appreciate the smaller line-up today.

$4 Win – ALWAYS A THRILL
Must Watch Race
First heat of The Prospector
Bendigo Race 10
Box 8 425m 1:47pm
TAB fixed odds: $2.80 Win
The Watchdog says : ALWAYS A THRILL (8) takes on a couple of smart ones, but he is perfectly drawn out wide and he is armed with a dynamic turn of foot. With a clean getaway, he should assume control quickly and he will be carving out time in the lead.
‘Must Watch Race’ Preview :
ALWAYS A THRILL (8) has only had the seven starts, but he has won four of them in explosive fashion and he is ideally drawn out wide. He is armed with blistering pace once balanced and with a clear run early, a sub 23.70sec run could be on the cards. FLYING PIE (2) is another serious up-and-comer and he was recently placed in the Pink Diamond Rookie Short Course Final. He is normally very reliable at box rise and with the empty draw outside, he should be able to put himself in contention. I’M TALKING (7) has tasted success around this circuit with a smart 23.93sec win in April and he appears to have improved since then. MASTER OGILVIE (1) is rising in class today, but he can show early pace at times, and he has some quick straight track wins to his credit.

The Watchdog says : WOBBLY BOOTS (5) continues to impress and she won’t find an easier race to win in town. With a clear run early, she should get the job done. SPEAK UP (1) will appreciate the drop in class today and he should be able to hold the lead through the bend. KOH SAMUI (8) is a serious prospect, and he is drawn to get all the breaks tonight.
