Bendigo Race 5 - Hip Pocket Bendigo (1-2 Wins) (325+Rank)
BAKALI SURPRISE (2) has been in the money at her last two runs, most recently when third (30.36) in a Mix 6/7 H over 515m at Sandown. Key player on best and worth another chance. DARKEST COLOUR (3) drew an outside box and was game in defeat when only a neck from the winner Paw Ferna in second(19.74) at Healesville. Can feature again. ZARI BETTINA (7) hit the ground running off the inside draw with a fast early sectional but run over late and missed the frame when a 3.5 lengths fourth (25.89) over 450m at Shepparton. One of the better chances. BRONELLY TED (6) was a huge winner last start. Sure to run well again.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage seventh last time out over 390m at Shepparton. Prepared to overlook.

Has finished fourth at her last couple of starts, most recently at Shepparton over 450m. Look for improvement. Not out of it.
