Bendigo Race 3

Hip Pocket Bendigo (1-2 Wins)

Prize Money: $1,530

DARK HABITS (4) jumped from this box last time and also the same course and distance when a 2.5 lengths second (24.55) in a Bottom Up - Grade 7. Worth following up. CARDS NIGHT (6) skirted wide from an outside draw last start and found the front, leading throughout to win (24.54) at this track in a T3 Grade 7 over 425m. Leading player again. MARVULLI (2) turned in a solid run last start over 300m at Healesville finishing 5th and beaten only 3.5 lengths (17.51). Some good form is emerging from his last run. Should be about the money. TEXAS MOON (1) warrants respect following a recent placing.

Latest effort finished 5th on February 13 over 300m at Healesville behind Night Ralf beaten 3.5 lengths (17.51) in a T3 RSTW. Capable of improvement on latest effort. Well placed and should feature.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when third (23.04) over 390m at Shepparton. Will need a little luck early from the draw. Looks to have the job ahead.

Caught the eye with a fast early split last time and setting up a neck win at this track over 425m in 24.54, making it two wins on end. Comes out of a hot form race. Worth following up.

Did a good job two starts back at Shepparton to win by 4 lengths in 22.55, beating Space King. Last start finished 5th over 425m at this track beaten 6 lengths (24.65) behind Lakeview Mitch in a T3 RSTW on February 18. Can't recommend in this field.
