Bendigo Race 3 - Bendigo Locksmiths Graduation Series 3yo & Older Trot (1st Heat)
FRENCH MISSILE (5) made a winning return at her latest appearance a week-and-a-half ago, leading and getting home by 10 metres at Melton. Has clearly returned a better filly and could work through her grades this time in. BANOS (8) made it two wins from just three starts when recording a comfortable victory last outing, scoring by 7 metres at Shepparton. Freshened since but is drawn to enjoy an economical run and has upside. CALABASAS (7) came from a similar draw to this for a last-start win by 5 metres at Ballarat and won the only time she raced at this venue. JILLIBY RADIANCE (11) bombed the start last time and gets a tough barrier as a result but had shown promise in recording a win and a second in her first two starts.

Two back was beaten by 7 m finishing fourth behind Whats The Tea at Kilmore over 2180m on May 21 at $34. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Jilliby Topgun at Shepparton over 2190m on June 2 at $11. Draws the inside and another bold showing is expected.

Last start 3rd (Sr4) over 2190m at Maryborough beaten 30 m by Connies President (2:45.80) on May 31 at $41. Two runs back hung in on scoring up, was well back in the run when 7th (Fr7) over 2180m at Kilmore beaten 12 m by Whats The Tea (2:52.80) on May 21 at $81. This looks a far sterner test.
