Bendigo Race 3 - Gold Central Victoria Maiden Trot
SAMBEZIA (5) broke when resuming last start but still managed to finish 2.2 metres from the winner in second at Shepparton. Draws closer to the pegs and should strip fitter. Big chance with manners. FARSTAR (9) raced parked from this row but stuck on okay and finished third last start at Shepparton. Expect another strong showing. FAR AS POSSIBLE (3) should be improved and is in the mix having come from this barrier for a respectable second when resuming at Birchip. LYNESHA LARAIN (1) gets her best draw so far and is lightly raced with upside so could be an improver.

Last start 6th (Fr5) over 2190m at Shepparton beaten 50 m by Shinelikethesun (2:50.00) in MAIDEN on March 8 at $81. Two runs back 8th (Fr4) over 1690m at Shepparton well beaten by Little Miss Morgan (2:08.80) in 4yo+ MAIDEN on February 10 at $81. Will not find this easy. This looks too tough and others appear better placed.
