Bendigo Race 5 - Huntly Lifestyle Estate By Lincoln Place Concession Drivers Pace
EPIC ORION (3) was hampered by a flat tyre when a beaten favourite last start so prepared to overlook that result. Had looked close to a win when runner-up in two of his previous three starts so is worth another chance from a good draw. BUDD SIDEWINDER (6) is racing well with a string of top-three finishes to his name. Came from the back row to cruise home by 11m two back at Maryborough then again had a tricky draw when he missed narrowly here last time. Strong claims. MARTHA LAVINIA (9) is in the mix again after coming from this barrier to place here last start. UP AND ABOUT (8) made an encouraging return when third at Maryborough from a wide barrier. Fitter and draws for a nice trail.

Closer draw this time so worth another chance.

Two back was beaten by 7 m finishing fourth behind Sir Sonny Maguire at this track over 2150m in a NR up to 49 on April 2 at $5.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third behind No Emotion at this track over 1650m in a NR up to 49 on April 9 at $3.40. Can be there at the business end.

Three-year-old colt facing the starter for the second time. At debut was driven from back in the field when 8th (Fr7) over 1609m at Cranbourne, beaten 35 m by Harley Lane (1:59.90) in MAIDEN on March 23 at $51. Probably needs more time.
