Bendigo

Chasing a hat-trick. At the latest run won by 2.25 len at Ballarat 0 - 62 October 3 over 1200m defeating Annie's Comet carrying 59.5kg at $6.50. The start before that won by 0.5 len at Tatura 4yo+ Mdn-Sw September 10 over 1100m defeating Stolen Art with 59.5kg at $2.50. Up in grade but has stepped up when the bar has been raised lately.

Resuming after a break of four months. Finished off last preparation fourth of 12 at Morphettville 3yo Bm68 June 22 over 1540m, soft track; 4 len behind Bona Fide Star with 57.5kg at $3. First up last campaign second of 9 at Cranbourne Mdn-Sw April 19 over 1300m, soft track; a nose behind Miss Rubydoo carrying 59kg at $1.40. Has placed at only two first-up runs, had good form before the spell and inside alley can only help.

Useful type. At the latest run faded in the straight 7th of 12 at Ballarat Bm64 on October 3 over 1400m, 1.75 len behind Laa De Sha with 59kg at $9. The start before that held ground to the line 3rd of 12 at Geelong Bm64 on September 13 over 1440m, 1.0 len behind Party At Artie's with 59kg at $8.50. Winner in this grade three back then not beaten far at past two, so a big chance again.

Dual acceptor. Last start 5th of 9 at Morphettville Parks Nmw-Ly on September 28 over 1550m, 3.5 len behind New York Scandal with 57.5kg at $5. The start before that 5th of 12 at Geelong Bm64 on September 13 over 1440m, 2 len behind Party At Artie's with 57.5kg at $8.50. Prepared to overlook.

Useful type. Most recently 4th of 12 at this track Bm64 on October 6 over 1300m, 3 len behind Sacramental with 60.5kg at $26. The run before that 6th of 12 at Sandown-Hillside C,G&E Bm64 on September 18 over 1300m, 3.5 len behind Kahhof with 59kg at $26. Certainly worth another chance.

Second run back. First-up after two months ran on strongly from last on the turn; 4th of 8 at Seymour Bm64 on September 15 over 1200m, 3.5 len behind Zaszou carrying 58.5kg at $8. Previously second-up 3rd of 9 at Ballarat 0 - 64 on February 25 over 1400m, 1.3 len behind Metrical carrying 57.5kg at $5.50. Better for the first-up run and can figure prominently from the gun draw.

Useful type. Last start 6th of 10 at Mornington Cg&E Bm70 on September 29 over 1600m, 3 len behind Bulawayo carrying 59.5kg at $13. Before that second last of 14 at Sandown-Hillside Bm70 on September 4 over 1500m, 4.5 len behind Torranzino with 58.5kg at $21. Going well. This easier than recent BM70 assignments and in very well after the 4kg claim.

Comes here off a 36-day let-up. Most recently 4th of 12 at Geelong Bm64 on September 13 over 1440m, 1.75 len behind Party At Artie's carrying 59kg at $8.50. The race before that 3rd of 10 at Geelong Bm64 on September 1 over 1325m, 1.75 len behind Willmott with 59kg at $26. Competitive of late but others rate better.

Dual acceptor. Back from a spell. Finished off last campaign sixth of 13 at Werribee Bm58 May 6 over 1600m, soft track; 4.5 len behind Cumbrian Queen carrying 61kg at $4.50. When resuming last campaign fifth of 9 at Stawell Bm58 January 5 over 1100m, 3.5 len behind Ideel Girl carrying 60.5kg at $21. Prefer to see how he has returned.

Useful gelding. Comes here off a 34-day let-up. Most recently second last of 8 at Seymour Bm64 on September 15 over 1200m, 6 len behind Zaszou with 59kg at $19. The run before that came from midfield and won by 1.3 len at Seymour Bm64 August 27 over 1200m in soft going defeating Fly On Bye with 60kg at $2.80. Draw doesn't aid chances but only needs to repeat run of two starts ago to be a factor

Dual acceptor. Form hard to fault. Most recently raced on the pace when 2nd of 13 at Wangaratta Bm58 on October 8 over 1400m, 4 len behind Capulet with 61kg at $5. Before that came from the tail of the field 2nd of 10 at Gunbower Bm58 on October 5 over 1300m, 1.3 len behind At The Mint carrying 61kg at $4. Going well. Been running in 58 grade, so this tougher, but doesn't know how to run poorly.

Dual acceptor. Third-up today. Resuming sat behind the speed prior to fading to run last of 10 at Swan Hill Bm64 on September 24 over 1300m, 5 len behind Rockabilly Rebel carrying 60.5kg at $10. Last start did the work up front then tired 7th of 12 at this track Bm64 on October 6 over 1300m, 4.5 len behind Sacramental carrying 58.5kg at $26. Needs to improve sharply.

Resuming. Finished off last preparation 9th of 11 at Mildura Bm64 on July 19 over 1400m, on a slow track; 10 len behind Princeofnottingham carrying 59.5kg at $6.50. Won previous preparation first up won by 1.0 len at Camperdown Mdn-Sw January 20 over 1400m defeating Cafe Award carrying 58kg at $3.30. Trialled on October 9 at Murtoa over 900m and finished fourth. Not keen.

Comes here off a 29-day let-up. Last start 4th of 8 at Ballarat Bm64 on September 20 over 1200m, slow going 0.8 len behind Mattei with 59kg at $10. Before that ran on from midfield and won by 0.5 len at Horsham Bm64 August 26 over 1200m in heavy going defeating Rivkin carrying 57kg at $12. Likely to find it tough from the wide gate.
