Bendigo Race 3 - Simonds Homes Bendigo Pace
BETTORSWEETVICTORY (12) put the writing on the wall with back-to-back placings then got the job done in emphatic style last start when cruising home by 17 metres. Draws on the back row this time but is going well enough to overcome that. MY GREAT EIGHT (5) made an encouraging return to racing when he settled back from his second line draw last start but worked home in good style to finish a head from the winner in second at Echuca. Fitter and draws on the front line this time so could go one better. SKADI (8) is in fine form with a couple of seconds recently, the latest at Charlton. Draws for a trail and could find a well-deserved win. DOT BALL (11) may need luck from a tricky draw but is racing well with a win and a placing from her last two starts.

Last start was well beaten into third after being driven well back, behind Bettorsweetvictory at Charlton over 1609m in a NR up to 40 on March 15 at $11. Raced better the start before that where she ran on from midfield and won by 5.5 m after showing early speed, (Fr2) at Echuca (2:11.10) beating Mynameisruby in NR up to 36 on March 10 at $12 at the bell was 4th-7.9. With any luck from the second row can be in the finish again.
