The Prowler/Too Hot Too Handle entire Adistactos can pull out a run on occasions and that he did at Bendigo, taking the Intergrating Technology Pace for C3 and C4 class over 1650 metres at Lord's Raceway Bendigo on Wednesday in a brilliant 1-55.8.

Trained at Clarkefield, not far from Melbourne Airport, by Bill Panousopoulos and driven by Kilmore's Aussie Mifsud, Adistactos from gate four was trapped wide before being driven with aggression at the bell to cross the pacemaker Powerful Tycoon.

First up for a month, it was anticipated that his run would finish as the home straight came into view, however Adistactos just kept on running to easily account for Christianity from a mile back and Breenys Trouble in a last half of 57.7 - quarter 29.3 to chalk up his ninth success in 67 race appearances.
