Bendigo Race 3 - Hip Pocket Bendigo (1-2 Wins)
MORTOLOX (4) produced a moderate run last time when eighth at Shepparton over 450m behind Slick Ability (26.45) in a Rank Limit - Restricted Win. Was in the money prior to that. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Worth another chance. SURGING (2) had the drop on the lead and went on to be beaten 4 lengths into third (24.43) at this track in a T3 RSTW over 425m. Can feature again. FAWN BOY (5) has missed the frame at his last couple but did finish in the minors in quick time three back (22.34) at Shepparton in a Grade 7. Rates a winning chance on best. BAMBOO RUPEE (8) scored in dominant fashion last time. Must be respected.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage sixth last time out over 600m at The Meadows. This looks too tough.

Lines up from box 4 for the first time after finishing a 17 length eighth at Shepparton (26.45) in a Rank Limit - Restricted Win. Looks a leading chance.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fourth last time out over 450m at Ballarat. Prepared to overlook.

Solid performance after racing just off the speed to win by 1.5 lengths at this track over 425m (24.61) beating Irish Legend in Maiden on December 10. Has hit winning form and is worth thought again.
