Bendigo Race 7 - Hip Pocket Bendigo (1-3 Wins)
KRAKEN MAIN (1) has been mixing form lately, hitting the frame two back before finishing sixth (25.93) at Shepparton in a Mix 6/7. Likely to improve sharply this time. SONG ABOUT SUSAN (7) hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but ran over late and missed the frame when a 2.5 lengths fourth (25.86) over 450m at Shepparton. Worth another chance. GREYSYND BONNIE (8) doesn't have the best strike-rate but recent form is sound. Has finished in the placings two on end now, the latest when second (28.67) at this track. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings two times from four attempts. Likely to be in the finish again. CHAPPY'S TOTEM (3) is another with top-three prospects.

Missed the frame latest (28.81) when fourth over 500m at this track in a Bottom Up - Restricted Win. Starts from box 4 for the first time here. Looks a place chance at best.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage sixth last time out over 500m at this track. Hard to have this time.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 4th over 450m at Shepparton beaten 2.5 lengths (25.86) behind Kraken Sandy in a T3 RSTW on May 7. Placed two back at Healesville. Had been in strong form, hitting the frame four times on end, before the latest effort. Can atone.
