Bendigo Race 4

Hip Pocket Bendigo

Stake: $3,159

PAW DROGO (5) was well supported last time and rocketed out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but had to settle for the minor money, finishing a 1.5 lengths third (23.88) over 410m at Horsham. Can find winning form. PAW ZENITH (1) flew the lids last start and led throughout to register his maiden win by 5.5 lengths at Ballarat over 390m (22.30). Drawn well off an inside draw. Yet to win at the journey but has run some good races. This tougher but looks a leading chance again. SALTY SNOOP (8) comes off an average performance last start when seventh at Sale over 435m behind Thunder Rose (25.70) in a Mix 6/7. Can do much better this time. PACKHAM POWER (7) has to be respected despite coming off a five weeks break.

Good effort to score just four days ago over 390m at Ballarat by 5.5 lengths in a Maiden. Looks the one to beat again.

Strongly fancied last time and hit the ground running with a slick early split, giving a sight but could manage only third (23.88) at Horsham over 410m. Leading contender.
