Bendigo Race 7

North Bendigo 2026 Premiers

Prize Money: $3,360

ELECTROJET (7) is progressing well and looks close to another win after hitting the frame last run (24.11) at this track. Can go on with it. ZAMBADA ICON (8) made light work of a wide draw last time with a slick early sectional but gathered in and had to settle for the minors, finishing second (24.14) at this track over 425m. Can measure up. PAW PALMER (3) was in the minor money with a respectable 24.02, finishing third in a Special conditions H at this track last start. Has the ability and can measure up. CHEEKY MEEKI (1) can find the frame without surprising.

Inside draw could be an advantage. Last start finished fourth in a Grade 5 H on September 27 over 350m at Healesville behind Santana Boy, beaten 6 lengths (19.68). Has run blistering time here with a 23.91 PB at the distance. Must include if she recaptures that form.

Comments

Sent out long odds last time but rocketed out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 3.5 lengths third (24.02) over 425m at this track. Has been racing well. Well placed here and looks a leading contender.

Comments

Sent out long odds last time but rocketed out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 4 length second (24.14) over 425m at this track. Found one better last time. Well placed and worth following up.

Expected Early Speed:Midfield
