GOING: G

Strathmore Community Bendigo Bank Handicap 2040m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 11)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Name Dropper and Station One to roll forward and set up a solid tempo. NAME DROPPER (15) is a lightly raced type who gave a sight here last time out, ultimately run down late in a similar race over 1600m. He's up in trip now but is certainly bred to stay and will take plenty of catching. LINCOLN ROCKS (4) continues to race very well and was only nosed out by the barest of margins here last time out. Maps well and should go close again. LAUDING (2) improved sharply third up to narrowly beat Lincoln Rocks last start and can go on with it now. DENMARK (3) has some upside off a Class 1 win at Newcastle, just his second Australian start. GENTIAN BLUE (13) perhaps next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Name Dropper on top.
