Bendigo Race 1 - Haeuslers Echuca Pace
YAMBUKIAN (11) hasn't raced since he worked but faded in the SA Cup in October to follow an easy win in the Gawler Cup. Has a strong strike rate when fresh, winning four of six attempts and will be ready to go off a trial win. ABOUTTIME (10) is back from a let-up but races well at this circuit with two wins and a placing from three visits. Also owns a good record over this distance so looking for a strong showing. LETSROCKLETSROLL (9) draws on the back row again but his form is sound, finishing midfield last start to follow a string of placings. Goes very well at this venue and distance with two wins and a placing from three attempts. Last-start Geelong placegetter CAPTAIN PINS (6) has yet to miss a place at this distance while REPELLING (2) draws better than last start so can show more.

Failed to impress last start; was driven from back in the field when 5th (Fr5) over 2555m at Wedderburn beaten 14 m by Western Sonador (3:08.30) in NR 70 to 95 on January 26 at $19. Showed ability the outing before when he won by 4 m (Sr1) held up early, at Ballarat (2:01.10) beating El Boston in 0W/15 0K stake on January 18 at $8.50. Forward performance expected.

Two back was beaten by 8 m finishing fourth after being driven well back, behind Operative Line at Melton over 1720m in a NR up to 90 on January 3 at $10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.5 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Vee Em Gee Macray at Geelong over 1609m in a NR up to 90 on January 24 at $6.50. Nice effort last time. Chance to find winning form.

Nine-year-old gelding who has plenty of ability. Unlucky last start 7th (Fr4) over 1609m after showing early pace at Geelong, at the bell was leading 1.7m on the pegs beaten 22 m by Triple Eight (1:52.70) in No NR on December 20 at $4.80. Not out of this despite the second-row draw. Races well here so can do much better.
