Bendigo (G) Race 6

Jarrod Larkin Concreting (300+ Rank)

Stake: $1,879

SHAKA BIG CHIEF (5) has been a little hard to follow, finishing out of the placings latest but was in winning form two back scoring in a T3 RSTW at Ballarat. Better than latest and can atone here. VISTA VANADIUM (6) was safely held last time out, finishing eighth at Healesville over 300m behind Millie (17.47) in a Special conditions race. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. MCIVOR OLLY (3) is a last-start placegetter who should be thereabouts.

Has finished seventh at this circuit at the last two appearances, most recently when beaten 9 lengths behind Maddie Odd Sock over 500m. Not far away last start. Right in the mix again.
