Alectrona has only just missed in each of two starts back from a break and is ready to win at Bendigo today.
The Team McEvoy-trained filly finished second, beaten a head at Ballarat at the beginning of the month before repeating that effort at the same course last time.
Fitter third-up and out to the 1400m, this looks her opportunity.
I thought that this looked a nice race for Cadbury Castle.
Cadbury Castle has made three appearances at the races since returning from a break, winning over 2350m at The ‘Bool most notably, and finishing just over a length behind the winner in BM70 company at his latest.
He looks to be in peak order this week, while the drop in class should also suit.
Stormbolt only just missed at his first start back from a break, and he looks well placed to go one better on Bendigo Cup Day.
The Foxwedge gelding returned some lovely performances last time in, striking at Flemington most notably, while I thought that his run behind Electric Impulse earlier this month was excellent.
With natural improvement, I can’t find a reason why he won’t be in the finish.
There are several winning chances engaged, but I am with Luncies in the Bendigo Cup.
Luncies is yet to show his best in a couple of starts back from a break, but there’s no doubt that he has stripped fitter for both, and he really wasn’t disgraced in a strong Hill Stakes at Randwick last time out.
Fitter third-up, out to a mile and a half and under Blake Shinn, he really does get a lot of ticks this afternoon.
