RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: Intriguing edition of the Bendigo Pacing Cup, which for the first time is being run over the mile trip. New South Wales-based KINGMAN (8) is the new kid on the block at Grand Circuit level and heads into this first-up assignment on the back of three-straight Group 1 wins, including the Victoria Cup in October and New Zealand Cup in November. He is in awesome form and he’s fancied to overcome the inside back row draw to prevail. CATCH A WAVE (2) was super at the trials on Tuesday, is a Miracle Mile winner over this trip and I fancy he’s got the speed to lead. He can give a great sight. PETRACCA (1) is an emerging talent and has the draw to contend, BULLETPROOF BOY (9) is the defending champ and will be storming home late in his bid for a 51st career win, while HI MANAMEISJEFF (2) won the Sunshine Sprint at his last start and is a great chance should he cross to the fence at the start.
