Bendigo (H) Race 8

Stonemans Village Iga & Liquor Strathdale Trot

Prize Money: $4,000

BET BET HOTSHOT (6) has the hoof on the till having finished second at Shepparton in his last two appearances, the latest from a similar barrier to this. Putting it together now and this could be his chance to break through. GUNSEN ROSIE (3) drew poorly and worked before fading last start. Had been runner-up in the previous two outings and is better served by this nice draw so deserves another chance. MACHO MAORI (8) broke last time but was solid when he raced parked for fourth in a higher-graded race prior. Drawn to enjoy an economical run and the sprint lane is in play. Contender. ALDEBARAN MAVERICK (7) draws deep but is worth some thought after working from a similar barrier but boxing on his last-start fourth at Maryborough.

Last start was well beaten into eleventh behind Charlie Walker at Ballarat over 2200m in a NR up to 39 on February 19 at $16. Raced better the start before that with a game effort when 2nd (Fr2) over 1690m at Kilmore was 4th-8.11 at the bell, beaten 1.5 m by Patnwill (2:09.20) in NR up to 39 on February 12 at $4. Draws well so can bounce back to form.

Two back was well beaten into second after a quick start, behind Little Miss Morgan at Shepparton over 1690m in a 4yo+ MAIDEN on February 10 at $34. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Cresco Cashflow at Shepparton over 2190m in a MAIDEN on February 17 at $5.50. Rates highly. This could be his chance to break through.
