Welcome to Bendigo for the Bendigo Locksmiths Benchmark 78 over the 1100m sprint trip on a fine Good 4 track. It is race number six on the card, timed to jump at 3:45 pm AEDT, and the punters have been busy picking apart an intriguing puzzle. Looking at the early win market order, Yes Yoshi holds down the mantle of the shortest runner, closely followed by Lawborough and Wingsandpropellers next in line, with Yolo rounding out the leading group of fancies.
Digging into the form behind those at the pointy end of betting reveals some fascinating yarns. Lawborough, prepared by Simon Zahra and steered by Damian Lane from barrier two, comes in with a rating of 97 after giving a good account at Caulfield over this exact distance last time out, plus the stable is going nicely. Meanwhile, Yes Yoshi resumes for a fresh campaign after a 21-week break for trainer Charlotte Littlefield with Ethan Brown in the saddle, having previously taken out two of five starts in a sharp first campaign and showing enough at recent jump-outs to attract plenty of market respect.
Further down the order, other runners present interesting angles for the yarn hunters. Wingsandpropellers maps well as a leader from barrier four for Jess Gleeson and Harry Coffey, looking to build on a campaign that featured a barrier trial win at Tatura following a run at Caulfield where it ran on late after a lengthy absence. Yolo is another one stepping out for C Maher from barrier five with Jabez Johnstone aboard, looking to bounce back from a Seymour run after previously lumping weight to victory at Ballarat, adding extra depth to what should be a cracking 1100m dash.

Racing fresh today after a break. Was $7.50 and couldn't maintain the pace when 16th last time at Flemington and back in trip. Best to watch and see.

Beaten a long way five months ago at Flemington upped to 1m2f; form has been a bit up and down of late; returns from an absence here; hard enough to fancy.

Resuming after a break. Was 13/2 and didn't attack the line when 16th last time at Flemington and down in trip. Blinkers go off for the first time.

A proven winner with a career wins-runs record of 7-33; creditable effort in seventh (beaten just over 2l) at Caulfield 14 days ago.
RSIS
Was 50/1 and came in 7th last run at Caulfield. Brad Rawiller is a key booking. Might have to make up considerable ground.

Landed a narrow success in a handicap two months ago; likes this combination of C&D; despite that Bendigo success, not easy to fancy.

Finished towards the rear of 14 (Seymour) 17 days ago; can be a player at this level; is of interest as shown he can get his head in front.
