Bendigo Race 3 - Hip Pocket Bendigo
ALLIGATOR ROCK (4) won by a space two back then gave a start but got home into the frame when second at this track (24.21) last time. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and two minor placings to his credit. Good form should continue. ASTON GOZO (8) was in the money two back in a Grade 4/5 at Geelong then jumped from a squeeze draw latest and not far away when fifth (24.19) at this track. Can feature with the right run. ALACRITY DAVE (2) has been hard to follow lately, running sixth (25.67) last time but prior to that ran very well when placed at Horsham. Can turn it around this time. SEAN'S MATILDA (1) was below best last time at Shepparton (25.72) in a Special conditions H, finishing a 6 length seventh. Boasts a top strike-rate from this draw, winning three of five runs.

Had been racing in honest fashion, recording three placings in a row, before finishing fourth (30.64) at The Meadows last start. Has a low draw but will need to find best.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (24.19) in a Special conditions Veteran race, finishing a 2.75 lengths fifth. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minors. Leading chance.
