Bendigo Race 5 - Sportsbet Blackbook (300+ Rank)

HOOKED ON GIN (5) finished well back at this track last time when a 16 length eighth (25.52) but scored four back at this track (24.24). Ready to return to form. VALLETTA PEARL (1) has been out of the placings the last couple but was a Bottom Up - Grade 5 winner (26.05) three back at Shepparton. Expected to do much better this time. REGGAE MISS (3) finished well back at this track last time when a 18 length seventh (25.18) but scored four back at this track (24.39). The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Cannot be underestimated. SWEET BEGONIA (6) placed last time and cannot be ignored.
