Bendigo Race 3 - Sportsbet (1-4 Wins) Ht1
TEST DRIVE (5) has some solid form under his belt and proved too strong last time to win by 1.1 lengths at this track in a handy 23.99 beating Mr. Devere. Looks the one to beat. RUPEE STAR (7) comes off an average effort last start when fifth at Geelong over 400m behind Hokkaido Express (23.03) in a Grade 5 H. Scored at his previous run. Should be about the mark. BLACK MARVEL (2) was in the minors two back (25.40) at Shepparton but ran below best last time there, finishing 7th. Has ability and can atone. RATTLER (8) racing over this course and distance brings the best out in him.

Didn't make the placings last time at Shepparton (25.80) in a SE, finishing a 11 length seventh. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed three times. Has ability and should be around the money.

Missed the frame last start when eighth but had been in strong form prior to that, winning two on end before placing two back. Tough line-up and place prospects appear best.

Strong performance after tracking the speed to win by 1.1 lengths at this track over 425m (23.99) beating Mr. Devere in Grade 6 on February 27. Recorded four placings in a row before he was rewarded with a win most recently. Expected to go well again.
