Bendigo Race 3

Lead Advisory Group (1-3 Wins)

Prize Money: $3,340

SO HE THINKS (7) had been going along well winning a Mix 6/7 three back then placing at The Meadows before missing the frame latest when sixth (31.37) at The Meadows. Expecting sharp improvement. LES NORTON (4) goes very well this course and distance starting six times for two wins and two minors. Was out of the placings last time (39.86) at Geelong in a Restricted WIN, finishing fourth and beaten 17 lengths. Makes strong appeal on best. CHEEKY STREAK (8) is better than last start when fourth (30.04) in a Mix 6/7 at Sandown over 515m. Better than last start and can bounce back. SLICK NITRO (3) cannot be left out despite racing here for the first time.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage eighth last time out over 520m at Q Parklands. Looking to others this time.

Missed the frame latest (39.86) when fourth over 680m at Geelong in a Restricted WIN. Goes very well from the draw boasting one victory and two places from six starts. Looks a leading chance.

Missed the frame last start when a 17 length sixth (31.37) at The Meadows. Previous form sound including a win three back at Geelong. Shapes well here on best and gets chance to atone.
