Bendigo Race 2

Hip Pocket Bendigo

Prize Money: $3,360

NOT SORRY (1) is a talented type and proved too strong last time to win by 2.75 lengths at this track in a handy 24.07 beating Paw Elodee. The form out of last race has been strong. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of that last-start win. ZAMBADA ICON (8) has missed the placings at his last couple but was in the money three back when third (25.55) at Shepparton in a Grade 5. Has the ability and can find best this time. HARD STYLE ROBBO (7) took advantage of the inside draw with an all-the-way win last start (24.11) at this track in a Grade 5 over 425m. Must be included in calculations. MINER MICK (2) boasts a solid strike-rate over this trip.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 425m in 24.07 last start, beating Paw Elodee. Likes the rails so has clocked a slick 24.02 Best Time here at the trip. Top chance.

Comments

Didn't make the placings last time at Sandown (30.54) in a Grade 5, finishing a 14 length seventh. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and two minors. Has ability and can sneak into the finish.

Has hit the frame the last two starts, the latest when second (29.97) over 515m at Sandown. Drawn awkwardly. Will need plenty of luck.

Got back last start and could only manage fourth but before that won easily by 5.5 lengths at The Meadows (30.09) beating Petali in a Restricted WIN on September 16. Others hold stronger claims.
