Profile

Owner: Mr B.S. Huddlestone, Mrs N. Shine
Racing Record & Form
Bonzer Bono is an experienced campaigner with 40 runs and 7 wins (17.5% strike rate) on his CV. However, his recent switch to Suffolk Downs seems to have revitalized him.
Previously a grader at Harlow (running in A5/A6 company), he has taken to the Suffolk track immediately.
Highlight Win (18th Nov): He produced a career-best performance to win an Open Race (OR) over 388m. He pinged the lids with a 4.67s sectional, led from the first bend, and clocked a rapid calculated time of 23.71s (24.15s official on slow going).
ÂRecent Form: Although he finished 4th in his last outing on Nov 28th, he faced stiff opposition. If he can reproduce that sub-4.70s break from his victory, he will be very hard to catch.
The Analysis: 17:46 (388m)
Track Suitability: Suffolk Downs (formerly Mildenhall Stadium) is a track that rewards early pace, and Bono has shown he has plenty of it since his arrival.
Tactics: He does his best work when he can dictate matters. His 4.67s split on Nov 18th is the benchmark; if he hits that today, he should clear the inside runners and dominate.
Value: He is currently running in Open class company, which is a step up from his Harlow days, but his 3¼ length victory last month proves he belongs at this level.
Verdict: He has found a new lease of life at this venue. Expect a bold bid from the front.
