Bendigo Race 3 - Hip Pocket Bendigo (1-2 Wins) (300+)
WHERE'S THE GOLD (4) has shown good improvement at his last two starts, breaking through last time at this track over 425m. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minor placings. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of that last-start win. NERA BULLET (2) proved too good last time out claiming her maiden success at Shepparton over 390m (22.77). Makes plenty of appeal if runs up to latest. PAW OPPA (6) is having her first look at this circuit. In the money last start when third (22.76) at Shepparton over 390m. Can measure up. WHIRLWIND NISEKO (7) can finish much closer after missing a cheque at this track last start.

Suited by inside box. Produced a good effort last start to finish fifth over 390m at Shepparton, beaten 2.5 lengths (22.87) behind Nala's Mantis in a Bottom Up - Restricted Win on March 12. Capable of taking this out.

Most recently finished 4th over 425m at this track beaten 2.5 lengths (25.26) behind Spice Road in a T3 RSTW on February 18. The form from the last run stacks up well. Worth including.

Hasn't shown any early speed lately and tends to spot them a start in her races, The latest effort was a 17 length eighth over 425m at this track. Hard to have this time.
