DARNUM FOX (5) turned spotting a big start finishing eighth (23.68) last time in a Grade 5 at this track. Solid record here winning three races. Better than last start and worth following up. SHINY NEW TOY (1) goes very well at the course with six wins and a placing from 10 starts. Below best last time at Bendigo (25.55) in a Grade 5, finishing a 14 length sixth. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts. HARD ON ME (2) jumped favourite and quickly to the front but run down late to finish second (23.19) at this track in a Grade 5 over 400m. Leading chance. SPICY SIREN (6) is likely to have admirers.
