Bendigo Race 3 - Hip Pocket Bendigo
RANSOM (7) was well fancied last time and led throughout to score (24.13) at this track in a Bottom Up - Grade 7 over 425m. Comes through a solid form race last start. Form reads well for this. INITIAL CONSULT (2) had been racing in honest fashion recording three placings in a row before finishing sixth (24.24) at this track latest. The form from her last run is stacking up nicely. Should be thereabouts. JUSTIFY THIS (8) flew the lids from out wide with a slick early split but ran over at the finish when a narrow fourth (23.25) over 400m at Geelong. Can do much better this time. ASTON WALSH (1) is back from a break and worth including.

Drawn the inside alley. At the last outing finished last in a Mix 6/7 on September 10 over 460m at Warragul behind Swaying beaten 12 lengths (26.80). Mixing his form but shapes as a genuine contender under these conditions.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when third (30.57) over 525m at The Meadows. Tricky draw to overcome and appears tested on latest effort.

In the money last time at Shepparton (25.64) in a Restricted WIN, finishing a 3.5 lengths third. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed three times. Will need the right run.

Quickly out of the boxes with a slick early sectional clocking 24.13 with a 8 length win at this track over 425m. Looks to have an edge on most of these.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but swamped late when a close up fourth (23.25) at Geelong over 400m. Has the ability to be in the finish.
