Daily Dogs – Friday, August 9

Bendigo: Race 3 (7:45pm)
No. 7 Nikita Bale

Nikita Bale is suited out over further after regaining some confidence with a 3.3 length win over shorter at Shepparton last week.

The daughter of Dyna Villa has drawn an identical box out wide and is likely to be up on the speed early and looking to set the pace.

Bendigo: Race 5 (8:27pm)
No. 1 Irish Nikki

Irish Nikki has enormous early speed and almost never finishes outside of the money.

She’ll look to improve on last week’s impressive win at The Meadows that saw her go nearly four lengths clear over further.

Back to her preferred distance now, she’ll prove hard to catch.

Bendigo: Race 7 (9:09pm)
No. 7 Lassard

Lassard is an in-form two-year-old that typically races well when drawn wide.

He’s featured in the money in all bar four of his 23 career starts and was seen warming up late at The Meadows last week.

Maps to land just off the speed and will no doubt be fighting out the finish.

Bendigo: Race 10 (10:12pm)
Tip: No. 4 Versnellen

Keen on Versnellen back slightly in distance now.

This son of Fernando Bale was placed over a touch further at Ballarat, before struggling out wide three weeks ago at Shepparton.

He’s been given a decent gap b between runs and has recorded all six of his career wins over 425m.
