Bendigo Race 3 - Hip Pocket Bendigo (300+ Rank)
RIPPER RUFUS (7) drew the inside and won last time at this track and distance (24.36) after charging straight to the lead, scoring by 1.3 lengths. Can make it back to back wins. BERRINGA BLACK (2) had been in super honest form hitting the frame four times on end before finishing fourth (24.84) at this track last time. Should be about the money. GOLDEN REDEEMER (6) struggled in tougher grade last start after drifting back at Shepparton, but prior to that won by 2.5 lengths at this track (24.43) beating Hillbilly Hunter in a Maiden on August 26. Great chance to atone. NULLA OUR PRIZE (1) is new to this circuit but should be in the mix.

At the last start finished last over 410m at Horsham beaten 15 lengths (24.68) behind Starlord Bale in a Mix 6/7 on July 28. Capable of much better. Worth keeping safe.

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 2.5 lengths fourth (24.84) over 425m at this track. Should prove hard to beat.

Most recent effort finished last over 390m at Shepparton beaten 4.5 lengths (23.08) behind Kansas Raider in a Mix 6/7 on September 2. Mixing his form but shapes as a genuine contender under these conditions.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 425m. Last start finished 6th on September 2 over 450m at Shepparton behind Blackberry Juice beaten 6 lengths (26.16) in a Mix 6/7. Looks well placed and should prove hard to beat.
