Bendigo Race 8 - Hanrahan Plumbing
PAW XANTIPPE (5) has struggled for best form recently, last time finishing 5th (30.69) in a Mix 3/4 at The Meadows. Has won here at this journey. Can atone. TWISTED FANTASY (1) is worth forgiving last start after finishing fifth (24.84) at Sale over 435m. Was a winner at his only start from this draw. Cannot be underestimated. SON OF GHOST (3) has some solid form under his belt and proved too classy last time to win by 0.8 lengths at Warragul in a handy 26.04 beating To Peru. One of main contenders. SOLAR HABIT (2) is always hard to beat when drawn in this box.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Sale over 435m. Last start finished 5th over 435m at Sale beaten 4 lengths (24.84) behind July She Lied in a Grade 5 FIN on September 14. Looks well placed and should prove hard to beat.

Has finished seventh at his last couple of starts, most recently at The Meadows over 525m. Forget the latest effort. Among the chances.

Strong performance after tracking the speed to win by 0.8 lengths at Warragul over 460m (26.04) beating To Peru in Grade 5 on September 12. Strongly fancied and lived right up to expectations last start. Stick with him.

Form has been solid with minor placings at his last three starts. Last time out finished 2nd on September 10 over 545m at Ballarat behind Aston Michigan beaten 4 lengths (31.54) in a Grade 5. Not among the main chances this time.

Won over this track and trip. Last start finished 5th over 525m at The Meadows beaten 7 lengths (30.69) behind Go For Gold in a Mix 3/4 on September 10. Solid formlines coming through that last run. Looks a major player.

Missed the frame last time when fourth (19.23) at Healesville. Prior to that had been racing well. Has to overcome a wide draw and appears tested on latest effort.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when second (30.46) over 525m at The Meadows. Tough draw to overcome but can measure up.
