It is shaping as a case of third time lucky this campaign for Andrioli in Race 6 at Bendigo on Thursday.

Andrioli has performed well this campaign and lines up on Thursday off a last start placing at Pakenham.

She will strip fitter once again for the outing and looks suited rising to 1400m in the O’FRM Lawyers Bendigo Benchmark 64 Handicap for Fillies and Mares at Bendigo on Thursday.

The filly will also appreciate a drop in grade after commencing her latest campaign with two outings at metropolitan level.

A small field of nine lines up in the event where Andrioli looks one of the more progressive runners in the contest.

Andrioli’s latest outing was solid and based on her best efforts last campaign, can build upon them.

From an inside barrier with Blake Shinn aboard, expect the pair to be prominent in a race which lacks much in terms of early speed.

A main danger looks to be Miss Thunder Road who was a strong winner on debut at Donald.

She will have taken valuable race experience and fitness from the outing and this is shaping as a nice race in which the mare can work further through the grades.

Finda Fitter Filly placed on resuming at this course before blowing her chances at the start when fourth at this course and distance a fortnight ago.

The mare missed the kick by roughly five lengths and while beaten more than three, the run still possessed merit.

Effortless Miss was a last start maiden winner at this course and rounds out the four main chances in Race 6 at Bendigo on Thursday.

Andrioli spearheads the key hopes and is rightfully favourite as of Thursday morning in the O’FRM Lawyers Bendigo Fillies and Mares Benchmark 64 Handicap (1400m).
