Bendigo Race 6

Hip Pocket Bendigo

Prize Money: $3,340

LOCO DOMINATOR (3) clocked a useful 28.11 finishing second in a Grade 5 at this track last start. Hot time latest and looms as the one to beat. SAFFRON MONSOON (2) was well back throughout but attacked the line strongly to place, 0.7 lengths from the winner (28.97) at Sale in Grade 5. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Expected to feature. MONTANA ICON (4) was unfancied latest when jumping from this same draw but belied the odds to place (28.39) over 500m at this track in a Grade 5. Can measure up. SLICK TOMMY (1) was below best last time at this track (28.82) in a Grade 5, finishing a 11 length sixth. Has five wins already from this draw.

Comments

Did a good job two starts back at Sale to win by 1.75 lengths in 28.87, beating Once More. Last start finished last over 500m at this track beaten 11 lengths (28.82) behind Neo Devere in a Grade 5 on November 6. Mixing his form but shapes as a genuine chance under these conditions.

Showed strong pace early but found one better when a 2.25 lengths second over 500m this track in 28.11. Should prove hard to beat.

Has been in the money the last two runs. Finished third at this track in 28.39 last time but the start prior recorded a respectable 25.38 over 450m finishing third at Shepparton. Can measure up if runs up to recent best times.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when third (24.98) over 435m at Sale. Has to overcome a wide draw but capable of a better result.
