Bendigo Race 9 - Alabar Bloodstock 3Yo & Older Maiden Pace
MY ULTIMATE LUIGI (8) looks close to a win after placing in the last three outings, last time coming from wider on this row to miss by just a head. That was his first visit to this circuit and he should enjoy a nice trail tonight so gets his chance. FOURTH RESPONSE (1) has not raced for six-and-a-half months but looks forward enough for the return after minor placings in two recent trials. No excuses from this advantageous draw so looking for a good return. BEST BY A MILE (7) didn't have the best of luck when checked on debut and while drawn wide is open to improvement. CATHERINE (2) led from wider and stuck on to place last start so can give a sight from the low draw.

Returns from the paddock. At the latest first-up run 3rd (Fr1) over 1609m after showing early speed at Cranbourne, beaten 8 m by Lochinvar Camaro (2:04.40) in 2yo on November 19 2023 at $6.50. Recent trials will help bring her on but a lack of race-fitness might work against.

Good run when beaten by 5.5 m finishing third behind Ileana at Warragul over 1790m in a MAIDEN on June 9 at $4.20. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Indi Party Mood at this track over 1650m in a 3yo MAIDEN on June 18 at $3. Can break through.
