Bendigo Race 9 - Bendigo Mazda (Bm62)
HOT TOO GO (5) resumed in fine style when storming home from the tail to put his rivals away with ease at Geelong over 1500m. Strips fitter and looks poised to go right on with it over the mile. HIS FINEST HOUR (4) returned with a strong effort at Sandown-Lakeside, closing off nicely into third. Fitter for the hit-out and gets his chance to build on that. Will just need some luck from the wide draw. LEONCHROI (1) resumes after a seven-month layoff but ended last prep on a high when scoring over 1800m at Caulfield Heath. Has had two jump-outs to tune up and should be ready to fire fresh. A genuine winning chance. BUDJIK BOY (9) is ticking along nicely and will appreciate stepping out to the mile. Carries a fitness edge and should be making his presence felt. Last start maiden winner VINCENTINA (11) is also among the winning hopes.

Recent form sound. At the latest run 4th of 11 at this track Bm64 on August 14 over 1500m, slow going 2 len behind Sacred Eagle with 58.5kg at $10. The run before that 3rd of 13 at Murray Bridge 0-66 on August 2 over 1400m, slow going nose behind Liselle's Luck with 58.5kg at $7.50. Up in trip and is worth some thought.

Form hard to fault. Last start won by 1.75 len at this track Mdn-Sw August 14 over 1600m in soft going defeating Leaving Las Vegas with 57.5kg at $13. The start before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 10 at Geelong Mdn-Sw on July 25 over 1770m, slow going 1.3 len behind Foire De Trone with 57.5kg at $3. Can improve further and is worth following up.

Second run back. First-up after 11 months won by 0.8 len at Ballarat Synthetic Mdn-Sw August 11 over 1400m defeating She's A Beauty with 59.5kg at $4.60. Previously second-up ran last of 12 at this track Mdn-Sw on October 6 over 1300m, 11 len behind Dramaticus with 59.5kg at $8. Impressive on that occasion but this looks tough.
