Bendigo Race 6

Jarrod Larkin Concreting

Prize Money: $3,875

SLICK ROCKET (1) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing fourth (25.65) in a Grade 4/5 at Shepparton. Key runner on his best form. UNDERCOVER GUY (7) has a strong winning strike-rate here having won two of four starts. Scored by a neck last time (28.38) in a Grade 5 over 500m at this track. Among the main chances. ATHENS AURA (8) failed to come into contention last start at this track, but prior to that won by 1.3 lengths at this track (28.74) beating Lizard Country in a Grade 5 on February 18. The form from her last run stacks up well. Worth another chance. MORAINE DYLAN (4) placed last time (34.93) at The Meadows in a Grade 4/5, finishing third and beaten 4 lengths. Already a winner from this draw.

Latest effort finished 4th over 450m at Shepparton beaten 5.5 lengths (25.65) behind Doongalla Rocket in a Grade 4/5 on February 23. Recorded two placings in a row prior to the latest effort. Worth another chance.

Placed last time (34.56) at Sandown in a Grade 4/5, finishing third and beaten 3 lengths. Yet to win but has placed three times from this draw. Tough line-up and may struggle.

Hit the ground running last time with a fast early split and never headed, leading throughout to win by a neck (28.38) over 500m at this track. Has a very good strike-rate out of box 7, scoring two times. Go close.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 500m in 28.74. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when seventh over 500m at this track at Grade 5 level. Below her best last time but looks well placed here. Worth another chance.
