Bendigo Race 2

Hip Pocket Bendigo (1-2 Wins)(300+ Rank)

Prize Money: $1,530

DARE DEVIL (4) is a talented type and proved too classy last time to win by 2 lengths at this track in a handy 24.31 beating Chappy's Banshee. Can make it back-to-back wins. BIG WEEKEND (2) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing fourth (26.07) in a T3 Grade 6 at Ballarat. Should play a prominent role. HOLLY BLUE GIRL (8) was below best at her last start when 6th at Ballarat following a third place finish (22.92) there two back. Expected to give a good account. IDYLLIC MEYER (1) can sneak into the finish.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage seventh last time out over 390m at Ballarat. Not going well enough. Needs to lift.
