Bendigo Race 3

Gray's Bendigo

Stake: $3,159

OBSTROPALOUS (3) boasts a consistent overall record including 15 wins from 38 starts, the latest hitting the minor money when third (25.49) over 450m at Shepparton. Happy to have him on top this line-up. TURBO GEORGE (1) hit the ground running from an outside draw with a fast early split, holding on for a minor placing when third and beaten 1.75 lengths at Warrnambool over 390m in 22.39. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Can measure up. MILLS FOR THREE (4) drew this same box last time when in the minors (24.49) in a Grade 5 over 425m at this track. Key chance on best form. ZAP (7) has strong credentials at this circuit over this journey.

Comments

Charged out of the boxes with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when third (22.39) at Warrnambool over 390m. Some good form is emerging from that last run. Expected to prove hard to beat.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when third (24.27) over 425m at this track. Has a low draw. Looking to others.

Showed brilliant pace early and gave a sight when a 10 length third over 425m this track in 24.49. Has never missed the frame in five starts from the draw. Solid prospects.

Could only manage fifth last time but the start prior hit the frame at double figure odds when second (22.36) over 390m at Ballarat. Tough draw to overcome but can measure up.
