Bendigo Race 3 - Hip Pocket Bendigo
BERNARDO'S QUEEN (1) turned in an eye-catching debut then was well fancied last time and got off the mark with maiden success, scoring by 2.75 lengths at this track over 425m (24.08). Rates on top in this line up. BLUE BOY SHIRAZ (3) was strong over this course and distance last time despite filling the minors, finishing half a length behind Loud Mouth Louie in 24.16 and recording a new PB here. This tougher but expected to be in the finish. INSTANT ACTION (7) had a tough draw to overcome and was game in defeat when only one length from Cash Job in third (22.37) at Shepparton. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Will give a great sight again. ALFREDO (8) must be included in main hopes on latest effort.

Strong performance to win by 2.75 lengths at this track over 425m (24.08) beating Hoppy in Maiden on November 21. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of the latest win.

Disappointed last time but just missed the placings two back over 450m at Warrnambool. Likely to find this a bit tough.
