Bendigo Race 3 - Great Ocean Road Real Estate Pace
SHAZZA LOVE (1) added to a string of top-two finishes when she came from the back row to miss by a nose at Terang on Saturday. Was also off the second line when she scored easily two back at Ballarat. Should get every chance from the ace draw. THE GOLDEN HOOK (8) has improved with each start this time, delivering a win by 1.1 metres from this row at this venue last week. Should enjoy a pretty soft run from this draw and the sprint lane is in play so can go right on with the job. BREATHE EASY (3) didn't do a bad job when he drew poorly and raced last time out. Recorded a string of wins and placings prior and is better served by this barrier. LORIMERMAJOR (6) is worth some thought after his last-start fourth at Kilmore, beaten 3.2m.

Beaten favourite last start when second at Terang on March 27. Was victorious the start prior at Ballarat on March 19. The ace draw could see her hard to stop.

Didn't do much at the last run, 5th (Fr1) over 2150m at this track, beaten 5 m by The Golden Hook (2:35.90) in NR 47 to 51 on March 25 at $15. Before that 6th (Fr1) over 2150m after showing early speed at this track was 5th-7.52 at the bell, beaten 9 m by Ollies Medal (2:40.20) in NR 48 to 51 on March 18 at $71.
