Bendigo Race 4 - Hip Pocket Bendigo (275+ Rank)
HELLO COOPER (2) turned in a modest effort most recently when sixth at this track over 425m behind Paw Lynette (24.63) in a Grade 5. Was in the money the start prior. Has ability and is a key runner. SWEET BEGONIA (4) turned in a moderate performance last time when sixth at Shepparton over 450m behind Chappy's Totem (26.27) in a Bottom Up - Grade 5. Can do much better this time. COSMIC REWARD (1) was safely held last time out, finishing fifth at Shepparton over 390m behind Graffiti (22.94) in a Bottom Up - Grade 5. The form from his last run stacks up well. Expected to give a good account. PROUD MARY (8) must be included in calculations.

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but ran over late and missed the frame when a 1.5 lengths fourth (22.63) over 390m at Ballarat. Can't recommend against this lot.
