Bendigo Race 4

Hip Pocket Bendigo

Prize Money: $1,530

MY COMPASS (3) carved over from wide out and boxed on strongly to finish 1.75 lengths away in second (22.75) behind Rolling Coal at Ballarat. Rates highly and will give a great sight. VELOX BALE (1) turned in a plain effort last time when sixth at Sale over 435m behind Midnight Shimmer (25.43) in a Grade 5. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and two minor placings to her credit. Worth another chance. RITZA MEL (2) scored (29.46) last time out over 500m at this track nine weeks ago. Has a good record at this journey. This looks easier and expected to run well. MR. FLASH (8) cannot be overlooked following a recent top-three finish. Something for the Multiples: MR. FLASH (8)

Missed the frame latest (25.43) when sixth over 435m at Sale in a Grade 5. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and two minors. Has ability and should feature.

Was out of placings last time (29.46) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing sixth and beaten 9 lengths. Yet to win but has placed three times from this draw. Can hit the frame with the right run.

Hit the ground running last time with a strong early split and tried to lead throughout but had to settle for the minors when second (22.75) at Ballarat over 390m. Looks a strong winning hope.

Finished third at big odds last time (23.02) over 390m at Ballarat. Squeeze draw to overcome. Has to do a bit more.

Was out of the placings at final run of last campaign, finishing sixth (23.15) at Warrnambool before going for a 12 weeks spell. Yet to win when resuming but has notched three places. Will need everything to go right.
