RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: Great race to start Bendigo Pacing Cup night, with the emerging CALEXICO (7) the on-top selection for me. He has been well supported in early betting and I can see why. He was a good winner from the front at Melton last time out – beating the smart Smoken Ace – and I fancy he will be driven aggressively to find the front here. From there, he’s hard to run down. LOUIE LOU I (6) broke through for a long-awaited victory at Cranbourne last weekend and I think he will again find the pegs so is a key danger, the very classy JILLIBY WILLOW (10) heads to the races for the first time since late 2024 and has tuned up nicely at the trials for this, while MY ULTIMATE BARNEY (8) has big wraps from trainer Andy Gath and was exceptional winning first-up at Melton. BACK: CALEXICO (7) – 2 units (win)
