Bendigo Race 4

Sportsbet Fast Form

Prize Money: $1,530

DARK HABITS (6) drew a squeeze box and was game in defeat when a close third, a long neck from the winner Everglow (24.99) at this track. One of the contenders. TRENTON'S EMPIRE (4) finds it hard to win. Finished in the money last time though when second (24.67) at this track. Leading player again. OKLAHOMA BALE (7) was below best at his last start when 7th at Sandown following a second place finish (30.24) at The Meadows two back. Comes through a solid form race last start. Has ability and can atone. WHO SHE RULES (3) is another with top-three prospects.

Missed the frame latest (22.71) when fifth over 390m at Shepparton in a Bottom Up - Restricted Win. Starts from box 1 for the first time here. Has ability but looking elsewhere this time.

Unplaced in three tries at this course. Last start 8th over 390m at Shepparton. Will not find this easy. Not keen.

Goes well at this track and trip. Latest effort finished 6th in a Grade 7 on February 28 over 390m at Shepparton behind Sir Trenton beaten 5 lengths (22.59). Solid chance with even luck.

Showed good improvement when second behind Tipsy Tilly at this track last start over 425m (24.67). Has to be respected.

Last start finished 3rd in a T3 RSTW on February 25 over 425m at this track behind Everglow beaten a long neck (24.99). Thereabouts at the last couple. Suited here and likely to run well.

Could only manage seventh last time but the start prior went down fighting when second (30.24) over 525m at The Meadows. Has to overcome a wide draw but is among the better hopes.
