Bendigo Race 12

Jarrod Larkin Concreting

Prize Money: $2,925

LEONESSA (1) recorded her best time this course and distance latest, finishing a 0.6 lengths second behind Daintree Pedro in 24.25. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. JABBERWOCKY (6) is in hot form after clocking an enormous 16.61 victory two back then followed up with a 22.32 win at Ballarat over 390m last time. Flying lately and shapes as a definite danger again. HAPPY BUDDHA (2) stalked the lead from a middle draw and boxed on well to finish 3 lengths back in third (22.88) at Geelong in a Grade 5 over 400m. Nicely placed to grab a well-deserved win. DEMON KYSAIAH (8) gets a chance to redeem an unplaced effort here last start.

Flew the lids with a fast early split last time, hitting the frame with a 3 length third (22.88) over 400m at Geelong and making it two placings on end. Speedy conveyance who looks hard to beat.

Got back last start and could only manage sixth but before that won by a neck at Shepparton (22.52) beating Flyin' Ethics in a Grade 5 on October 27. Hard to tip with any confidence.
