A LOOK at the run home in the Bendigo District Cricket Association over the last three rounds in which seven teams are left jostling for the four finals berths.

Record - 8-1-1

Points - 51 Pct - 1.35%

To come:

v Bendigo (h)

v Golden Square (a)

v White Hills (h)

Opponents points - 90

The reigning premiers are sitting on top of the ladder and only have one top-four side left to play in White Hills. Backing the Power to win all three of their remaining games and head into the finals in pole position.

Record - 7-1-2

Points - 48 Pct - 1.90%

To come:

v Kangaroo Flat (a)

v Bendigo (h)

v Sandhurst (h)

Opponents points - 81

Sitting two games clear in second position, the Suns are headed for a 15th-consecutive finals appearance. Biggest test of their last three games comes this weekend against an in-form Kangaroo Flat.

Record - 5-3-2

Points - 36 Pct - 1.08%

To come:

v Strathfieldsaye (a)

v Eaglehawk (a)

v Huntly-North (a)

Opponents points - 99

Two wins in their last three games will be enough to get the Demons into the finals for just the second time since 2000. Will have a nine-point buffer in the top four if they knock over Strathfieldsaye this week. On the flipside, certainly won't want to be in the position of having to beat Huntly-North Epsom in the last round with their season on the line.

Record - 5-4-1

Points - 33 Pct - 1.19%

To come:

v Strathdale (h)

v Sandhurst (h)

v Eaglehawk (a)

Opponents points - 84

The Roos have plenty of momentum behind them and look to be hitting their straps. Tough ask this weekend at home against Strathdale and then finish off with two games against two of the bottom three sides. Have the best percentage outside of the top two teams.

Record - 5-4-1

Points - 33 Pct - 0.88%

To come:

v White Hills (h)

v Bendigo United (a)

v Golden Square (a)

Opponents points - 72

Plenty hinges on this weekend's game against White Hills. Win that and the Jets will move into the top four and from there their finals destiny is in their own hands, which is all you can ask.

Record - 4-5-1

Points - 27 Pct - 1.09%

To come:

v Sandhurst (h)

v Huntly-North (h)

v Strathfieldsaye (h)

Opponents points - 105

Three games at home to finish off. Probably going to need to win all three to be any finals chance, which is going to be tough considering one of their opponents to come is top-of-the-ladder Huntly-North Epsom.

Record - 4-5-1

Points - 27 Pct - 0.94%

To come:

v Huntly-North (a)

v Strathdale (a)

v Bendigo United (a)

Opponents points - 108

Still in the finals equation, but given the form the Goers are in (lost four of their past five) and their next two matches are away games against the top two sides in the Power and the Suns, their top four hopes appear cooked after such a positive start.

Record - 3-6-1

Points - 21 Pct - 0.86%

To come:

v Golden Square (a)

v Kangaroo Flat (a)

v Strathdale (a)

Opponents points - 108

Will be a second season in a row missing the finals for the Dragons since winning their 2018 premiership.

Record - 2-7-1

Points - 15 Pct - 0.63%

To come:

v Bendigo United (h)

v White Hills (h)

v Kangaroo Flat (h)

Opponents points - 78

Best chance of adding a third win of the season for the rebuilding Hawks will come this weekend at home against Bendigo United.

Record - 1-8-1

Points - 9 Pct - 0.60%

To come:

v Eaglehawk (a)

v Strathfieldsaye (h)

v Bendigo (h)

Opponents points - 75
