Bendigo Race 5 - Hip Pocket Bendigo (1-3 Wins)
WHO SHE RULES (1) put in a much better performance last start when in the placings at this track behind Choosin' Texas (28.27) in a Mix 6/7. Has the pace to be prominent. Leading chance again. ALLIGATOR ROCK (5) has shown good improvement at his last two starts, finishing in the money last time when 3rd at this track over 500m. Winning chance. BACK TALK (2) was never in contention last time after drifting back at Sandown, but prior to that won by 2.5 lengths at Sandown (29.98) beating Don't Blame Me in a T3 RSTW on April 6. Great chance to atone. DAD'S PLUM SAUCE (3) is worth consideration after filling a hole at big odds last start.

Working her way into winning form after her success on March 31 at this track over 425m. Last start was second over 500m in 28.27, behind Choosin' Texas. Boxed on well at the latest run to hit the frame. Leading player.
