Bendigo (H) Race 5

Elmore, Lockington & Rochester Trotters Cup

Prize Money: $10,000

THUNDA STRUCK (9) recorded back-to-back placings, one of them at G2 level, before he got the win he deserved last time out at Melton, arriving 3.6 metres ahead of the runner-up. Draws on the back line but that latest effort is good enough to win a race of this calibre. TICTOK (13) brought some very good form to the table before the latest appearance when she got the job done again, scoring by 8 metres at this circuit and distance. That gave her two wins and two placings from her last four starts, all from this row. Strikes at 50 per cent at this circuit and distance. Big chance. MITCHELL WRAP (12) missed the start last time but was runner-up at his previous two so can do better. KINGS GUARD (10) was midfield last time but had recorded a series of top-three finishes before that so is worth another chance.

Looked good last start. Posted a big 5 m win as favourite (Fr3) at this track (2:41.60) beating Velvetnlace in NR 40 to 49 M on December 11 at $1.65 at the bell was 2nd-4.52. Two runs back 2nd (Fr3) over 2240m at Melton was 2nd-0.67 at the bell, beaten a head by The Sky Is The Limit (2:47.60) in 4yo+ NR up to 55 on November 29 at $6. Consider.

Well beaten last start by Tictok, who she meets again; when 45 metres seventh at this track over 2150m in a NR 50 to 65 M race on December 11. Not keen on her chances in this line-up.

Improved last start with a good run when 2nd (Sr3) over 2030m at Gunbower was leading by 2 at the bell, beaten a nose by Lindy Grace (2:33.20) in NR 50 to 55 on December 8 at $10. Has a low draw and will go well again.

Seven-year-old mare showed improvement last time. Was driven from back in the field when 2nd (Fr5) over 2150m at this track, at the bell was 2nd-3.58 beaten 7 m by Tictok (2:42.10) in NR 50 to 65 M on December 11 at $12. The run before was not as impressive when well beaten into seventh after a quick start, behind Nakedtruth at this track over 1650m in a NR 54 to 65 on November 27 at $16. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.
