Bendigo Race 2 - Smartloans Bendigo Pace
MISS PIGGY WIGGY (11) has been racing well of late. Finished second at her latest appearance at this venue, beaten 2.2 metres and came from this row when winning at Shepparton earlier in the month. Big chance. HOME AND DRY NZ (6) has been about the mark consistently of late and again performed admirably last time out, working but sticking on to place at Shepparton. Leading hope. FINAL BOW (10) didn't do a bad job when fourth from a wide barrier here last time out and was a winner at Echuca prior. OUTA THE BLUE (7) draws wide wide but is in the mix if she can recapture the form from two starts back that saw her score at Kilmore.

Two back was beaten by 7 m finishing second behind Cresco Threepeat at Shepparton over 1690m in a NR up to 45 on March 8 at $2.40. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing third behind Zu Hoffen at Shepparton over 1690m in a NR 36 to 40 on March 17 at $4.80. Going along well. Close to a win.

Two back was well beaten into fourth after being driven well back, behind Shaq at Maryborough over 2190m in a NR up to 50 on March 16 at $3.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.25 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Binalong Night at this track over 1650m in a NR 43 to 46 on March 18 at $3.20. Has winning claims.
