Bendigo Race 2 - Hip Pocket Bendigo

BLACK VIOLET (1) comes off a moderate effort last start, finishing sixth at Healesville over 350m behind Nightmare Gavin (19.83). Comes out of a solid form race last start. Rates on top in this line up. RIPPER KEV (2) is a Wayne Hooke-trained newcomer by Paddy Wants Pats out of Kraken Candy with no trial form to work with. Market to provide the best guide to his chances. TED KLUMP (8) steps out at this track for the first time after an average run at the latest appearance, finishing sixth at Shepparton over 390m behind Todd Latimore (22.82). Can figure in the finish. AUSSIE MIRAGE (7) should be in the finish fresh from a five weeks break.
