Bendigo Race 4

Hip Pocket Bendigo

Prize Money: $1,530

IDRON BALE (2) drew an outside box and was game in defeat when only 1.2 lengths from the winner That's A Boodie in second(22.97) at Geelong. Has performed well from this box with a win and two minor placings to his name from five starts. Good form should continue. SONIA'S BEAUTY (7) broke from the inside draw and filled a minor placing last start, beaten only 2 lengths (24.67) behind Sumo Smash at this track. Expecting another good run. COCONUT OAKLAND (1) is a capable type and proved too strong last time to win by 0.8 lengths at this track in a handy 24.89 beating Jazzy Belle. Leading player again. BREAK IN (3) scored last time and can measure up again.

Improved sharply when second behind That's A Boodie at Geelong last start over 400m (22.97). Gets back so might need a bit of luck.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Ballarat over 390m in 22.40. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when sixth over 400m at Geelong at Grade 4/5 level. Be tough to make an impression against this lot.

Has been in the minors the last two, the latest showing strong pace early but gathered in and finished a 2 length second over 425m this track in 24.67. Looks well placed and should prove hard to beat.

Comments

Didn't make the placings last time at Shepparton (23.09) in a Grade 5, finishing a 14 length eighth. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and two minors. Tough line-up and may struggle.

Expected Early Speed:Midfield
