Bendigo Race 3

Sportsbet Final (1-4 Wins)

Prize Money: $3,360

COMPLETE (3) goes very well at this journey here having never missed the frame including two wins and two placings. Recorded a long neck win (23.99) in a Mix 6/7 last time at this track. Looks well placed and should feature. ASTON COMMANDER (5) is looking to continue his winning ways off a dynamic 23.76 success at this track. Harder here but will be in this for a long way. KID BLUE (1) stalked the lead and fought on well to finish 3 lengths away in third (24.23) at this track in a Grade 5 over 425m. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Well-placed to take this out. HARTLAND ROCKET (2) is worth including.

Missed the frame last time but finished in the minors at big odds two back when second (25.49) over 450m at Shepparton. Aided by a low draw and in the mix on his best form.

In rare form with a current sequence of three wins on the bounce. Added to the tally last start when she won by a long neck at this track (23.99) beating Star Force One in a Mix 6/7 on October 9. In hot form and can take this out.

Strong performance to win by 5 lengths at this track over 425m (23.76) beating Zambada Icon in Grade 5 on October 16. Makes plenty of appeal. Go close again.

In the money last time at Geelong (22.98) in a Grade 5, finishing a 3 length third. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed three times. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts.
