Bendigo Race 2 - Hip Pocket Bendigo
TALTARNI BLUE (3) turned in a plain run last time when seventh at this track over 425m behind Star Meli (25.15) in a Rank Limit - Restricted Win. Has ability and can bounce back. RITZY RUTH (6) hasn't been far away here at the last two, finding the frame both times, most recently when third beaten 5.5 lengths (24.78). Comes out of a solid form race last start. Expecting another good run. ELSA ESCARGOT (7) was below best at her last couple, the latest finishing sixth at Healesville, but was among the placings at Warrnambool three back. Can improve sharply here. GREYSYND MAGIC (2) placed last start and is in the mix again.

Solid performance after tracking the speed to win by 2 lengths at Shepparton over 390m (22.75) beating Heaven On Earth in Maiden on June 4. Be tough to make an impression against this lot.

Dropping back in distance from her last start when fourth over 525m at The Meadows. Has struggled in the past over this trip. Likely to find this a bit tough.
