Bendigo Race 2 - Hip Pocket Bendigo
SULTANS OF WIN (5) sat on speed and lifted strongly to open winning account two back, then finished a 8 length sixth last start at Warragul over 400m (23.84). Look for sharp improvement here. COMPARE BUBBLE (2) copped a check in the run last time and never threatened when seventh (24.21) in a Mix 6/7 at Horsham. Key chance on best form. PAW OAKLEY (4) has been hard to follow lately, running fourth (23.10) last time but prior to that ran very well when placed at Ballarat. This looks easier and expected to improve sharply. MISS HOOVER (3) finished in the placings last start and deserves some thought.

Drawn the inside. Last start finished 5th over 390m at Ballarat beaten 3 lengths (22.84) behind Paw Vitali in a Rank Limit - Grade 7 on April 11. Capable of taking this out.

Didn't finish two back and couldn't make the frame last time when he finished last in a Mix 6/7 on March 31 over 410m at Horsham behind Kaelix Storm beaten 15 lengths (24.21). Below best last time but looks well placed here. Deserves another chance.

Sent out long odds last time but rocketed out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 1.3 lengths second (25.77) over 450m at Shepparton. Top-three hope with the right run.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 4th on March 27 over 400m at Geelong behind Socialism beaten 6 lengths (23.10) in a Mix 6/7. Placed two back at Ballarat. Rates highly on best form. Expected to feature.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 4 lengths in 24.30, beating High Five Indi. Last start finished last over 435m at Sale beaten 10 lengths (25.43) behind Dr. Beyond in a Mix 6/7 on April 12. Not likely to feature on this occasion.
