Friday's twilight meeting will be followed by Saturday night's racing at Lord's Raceway in Junortoun.

Talented sprinter Especially will aim to bounce back to her best form in Friday's fifth race at the 500m distance.

Drawn in box eight, Especially will chase the 20th victory of her career.

After performing below her best in the SA Oaks series, Especially resumed with a solid placing at Horsham on November 18 and she will take a power of beating in Bendigo.

Especially's main opposition is likely to be Uno Sprite from box two and recent Ready To Race final winner Agility in box five.

In the following event, Reckless Brown, a kennelmate to Especially, heads a quality line-up in the free for all event over 425m.

Reckless Brown has mixed form lately.

Despite being drawn awkwardly in box four, the greyhounds drawn around her should provide her with room to move and a chance to return to the winners list for Toolleen trainer Rod Clark.

Reckless Brown has won twice at Bendigo and broken the 24-second mark at the track.

In-form sprinter Unbound is the likely danger from box two.

Miss Golden Tron and Hurricane Ash will make their presence felt.
