Bendigo Race 3

Prize Money: $2,925

PAW GERTRUDE (2) wasn't far away at the finish when 4th and beaten only 4 lengths (30.23) at The Meadows. Has ability and is a key runner. ASSASSINATOR (1) ran below best last time finishing seventh (31.02) over 515m at Sandown from Box 7. The form out of his last race has been franked. Must be included in calculations. PAW NATULLO (8) took advantage of the inside draw and gave a big sight in front when third and beaten 1.5 lengths (23.81) at this track in a Grade 5 over 425m. The form out of last race has been strong. Hard to beat again. GO HOME GIRL (3) is always hard to beat when she races at this trip.

Suited by inside box. Last start finished last in a Mix 3/4 on September 24 over 515m at Sandown behind Indy Melmen beaten 26 lengths (31.02). Below best last time but looks well placed here. Deserves another chance.

Didn't make the placings last time at The Meadows (30.23) in a Free For All, finishing a 4 length fourth. Has three wins and nine placings from 15 starts from the draw. With a clean break looks hard to beat.

Didn't make the placings last time at Warrnambool (25.34) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 4.5 lengths fourth. Has performed well off the draw with a win and two places from four starts. Looks one of the chances.

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, grabbed late but holding on to a placing when a 1.75 lengths third (29.83) over 515m at Sandown. Capable of improvement.

Eye-catching performance to score by a 0.7 lengths in a Grade 5 last start at Ballarat, clocking a solid 22.24 over the 390m trip. Harder here but worth including in multiples.
