Bendigo Race 3 - Hip Pocket Bendigo
ASSASSINATOR (2) had the drop on the lead from the rails draw last start but could only manage second, beaten 4.5 lengths (23.98) at this track in a Grade 5 over 425m. Has never missed the frame from four starts from this draw, including two wins. Can find winning form. CALLAHAN (1) finished well back at Shepparton last time when a 10 length seventh (25.85) but recorded best time of the card when winning five back. Form here at the trip sound including two wins. A big run wouldn't surprise. PAW WONDER (8) drawn the outside box and could get a clear run. Was below best last time when 8th and beaten 13 lengths at this track (24.72). Has a strong winning record here at this journey including one wins. Will give the top chances plenty to think about. CLAVICLE (3) is worth including after a top-three finish most recently.

Could manage only seventh last time but impressed the start prior when he clocked a solid 24.01 over 425m finishing second at this track. Has the ability and expected to go close again.

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 (24.07) over 425m at this track. Happy to risk in this.
