2024 Bendigo Womens 400m Black Pearl

Ida Laherty leads the Women off from scratch for this years' Black Pearl! Who takes out the race?

Halle Martin off 31m wins by 10 metres plus. Surely that’s not right

Martin has been off 31 all season. Not sure where you are going with this.

Yes I know that Kicker but the field has been handicapped back to scratch. So all the girls have come back 14m. So I would have thought she runs off 17m

Good pick up. Wrong mark.

Yep Martin is on the wrong mark.
Assuming she gets assigned the right mark, she will go pretty close. But for me, its between Watson and Tanner. Layla is coming off a 54 second run, should go close to 54 this weekend. Tanner is the other obvious one, 2nd in the final at Beachside, also ran a 56 recently. The field being pulled back suits her more as she is a 800m runner.
I'm going Watson... just

I think you are on the money again Norm but it will be won in a tick over 56 secs with the field put back 14m. Ignore the laned track time and go more on the Ballarat heat 54.2 and Final 55.05 times off 18m. She’s not running in the 54’s off 4m mate. I’m tipping she’ll fight it out with Halle Martin and K O’Dwyer. Others with a show of making the final would be Laherty Hubbard Grandine Tanner Crisp Morgan Nicholson and Henderson

Watson & Martin for the Boxed Quinella. Could go either way.
