Bendigo Race 3

Hip Pocket Bendigo

Stake: $3,159

EXAGGERATOR (6) was a last start winner (23.85) at this track who is building a strong winning record. Has never missed the frame at the trip from three starts. Ran the fastest time on the program in his latest win. Hard to fault his recent form and can win again. SUPER STORM (1) has a strong record this trip with two wins and two placings from six starts. Placed last time (24.34) at this track in a Restricted WIN, finishing third and beaten 6 lengths. Among the main chances. REV TREASURE (7) finished fifth last time (25.93) at Shepparton after winning at her previous two outings. Cannot be underestimated. PAW FUNK (3) is new here but is worth considering.

Latest effort finished 3rd over 425m at this track beaten 6 lengths (24.34) behind Papa Easy in a Restricted WIN on June 20. Has been around the mark at his last couple and should make his presence felt.

Finished third last start (22.61) at big odds over 390m at Shepparton. Awkward draw to overcome. Will need plenty of luck.

Caught the eye with a fast early split last time and setting up a 3 length win at this track over 425m in 23.85, making it two wins on end. Looks well placed to make it three straight.

Got back last start and could only manage fifth but before that won by 1.75 lengths at this track (24.14) beating Zipping Benji in a T3 Grade 7 on June 18. Not far away last start. Right in the mix again.
