Today’s $14,250 Jarrod Larkin Concreting Gold Rush Maiden Final (425m) at Bendigo is loaded with potential stars, with the standout performer in the series now faced with the challenge of overcoming box four.
The unbeaten She’s Got Wheels (Kelvyn Greenough) is two from two after winning her heat and semi-final in 23.70sec and 23.56sec, with both performances earning Best of Night honours.
However, with such an inexperienced and talented line-up, nothing is certain, with The Watchdog identifying Smokin’ Grille (Cameron Bahen) and Sierra Footrot (David Condon) as the main dangers in the chase for the $10,000 first prize.
This afternoon’s race meeting is the final day of Bendigo’s 2021 Gold Rush Carnival, with the card boasting a number of feature races and stars of the calibre of Group 1 hero Last Hurrah, the in-form Aston Ulysses and talented new addition to the David Geall kennel, Emmy’s Shark in the thick of the action.
