Bendigo Race 4 - Jarrod Larkin Concreting
HOT ASHES (1) steps out for the first time at this track. Missed the frame last time when 4th and beaten 10 lengths (26.28) at Murray Bridge. Boasts two wins from three starts out of this box. Looks the one to beat on his best form. ODDLY COOL (7) charged out of the boxes with a strong early split and went straight to the front, scoring an all the way win (22.96) over 400m at Warragul. Hard to knock his form from this box, unbeaten in two starts. Shapes as a top winning chance on latest effort. MIDNIGHT THUNDER (2) found the frame for the second consecutive time when narrowly beaten into second last time out (23.55) over 410m at Horsham. Can turn it around this time. ZERO KILLER (3) is always hard to beat when drawn in this box.

Back from a spell of 14 months. Won two starts back when well in the market at Sandown over 595m. Last start finished 4th in a OPEN on March 2 2025 over 455m at Murray Bridge behind I'm A Mustang beaten 10 lengths (26.28). Capable of a strong show.

Has been in the money the last two runs. Finished second at Horsham in 23.55 last time but the start prior clocked a slick 23.96 over 425m finishing second at this track. Looms as the one to beat this time.
