Bendigo Race 4

Hip Pocket Bendigo

Stake: $3,218

HAPPY BUDDHA (5) hit the ground running and on speed early but faded out of it to finish 5th (22.40) at Shepparton over 390m. Has winning claims on his best figures. HOLTORF BALE (2) has won here at this journey. Has ability and is one of the better chances. TONIC'S GIRL (1) stalked the lead from a low draw and fought on well to finish 4.5 lengths back in third (22.34) at Shepparton in a Grade 5 over 390m. Well-placed to take this out. MR. PRESIDENT (3) cannot be underestimated.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by a neck in 28.36, beating Tudor Peak. Last start finished 4th over 450m at Shepparton beaten 4.5 lengths (25.51) behind Beauty Beast in a Grade 5 on November 18. Look for improvement. Not out of it.

Showed strong early pace and stuck on well despite finishing out of the placings when fifth over 390m Shepparton in 22.40. Should be right in the finish.
