Bendigo Race 2

Prize Money: $1,530

HILLBILLY HUNTER (4) held his own to the line last start and filled a minor placing, beaten only a long neck (24.50) behind Beyond Easy at this track. Deserves serious consideration. MISS WONG (6) is still a maiden after 16 runs but rarely far away, the latest filling a minor placing when third at this track. Expecting another good run. RECHARGE (1) struggling for winning form, but gets every chance from the inside. Last time finished 7th on September 2 over 390m at Shepparton behind Purple Panther beaten 21 lengths (24.31) in a Maiden. Expected to feature in the finish. HARTLAND ASH (2) is a last-start placegetter who should be thereabouts.

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but had to settle for a minor placing when a 5 length third over 390m at Shepparton, clocking 22.82. Has been around the mark of late. Keep safe.

Having his first run at Bendigo. Comes off an average run last start over 300m at Healesville when fifth behind April's Star (17.74) in Maiden. Not far away last time but this is a stiff test.
