Bendigo Race 3

Allan Abbott Memorial

Stake: $1,683

LETHAL FORCE (5) opened his account last time out by 2.5 lengths at this track over 425m (24.38). Can make it two on the bounce. NICK'S MATE (6) finds it hard to win but looks close to breaking through. Has hit the frame the last two runs, the latest when third (24.66) at this track. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Winning chance. BOSTON LEGAL (1) pinged the lids and was in the firing line early but drifted out of it when 6th at Shepparton in Grade 7 company. Some good form is emerging from his last run. Should be in this for a long way. COPPERHEAD DASH (3) is a last-start placegetter who should be thereabouts.

Form has been solid with minor placings at his last three starts. Last time out finished 3rd on April 14 over 390m at Ballarat behind Patriot Cougar beaten 3 lengths (22.66) in a T3 Grade 7. Rates highly on best form. Must include.

Latest effort finished 3rd on April 2 over 425m at this track behind Gumtree Hill beaten 2.5 lengths (24.66) in a Grade 7. Thereabouts at the last couple. Suited here and likely to run well.
