Bendigo Race 3 - Jake Klemm Carpentry (300+)

BERRINGA BLACK (3) was big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, weakening late to finish a 1.75 lengths fifth (22.60) over 390m at Shepparton. Form from his last run is proving strong. Should be very hard to beat this time. DARK HABITS (4) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing sixth (22.68) last time in a T3 Grade 7 at Shepparton. The form out of last race has been strong. Can measure up this time. NALA'S MANTIS (1) showed little early speed at her last couple, the latest finishing fifth (23.19) in a Bottom Up - Restricted Win at Warrnambool. Will give the top chances plenty to think about. HOPE IN HARDSHIP (2) can measure up with the right run.

Suited by inside box. Last start finished 5th over 390m at Warrnambool beaten 3.5 lengths (23.19) behind Val's Legacy in a Bottom Up - Restricted Win on February 16. Yet to win but has been in the money two times from three starts off this draw. Right in the mix.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but swamped late when a close up fifth (17.18) at Healesville over 300m. Look for improvement. Not out of it.

Started big odds last time but hit the ground running with a slick early split, giving a sight but fading out of it to finish fifth (22.60) at Shepparton over 390m. The last run is a strong form reference. Follow up.

Was sent out long odds last time but charged out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 3 length sixth (22.68) over 390m at Shepparton. Coming out of a very strong form race. Expected to go well.

Poor last start but ran a better race two back when fourth over 390m at Shepparton. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.
