Bendigo Race 2 - Hip Pocket Bendigo (300+Rank)
HILLBILLY TIGER (6) settled midfield in the run and boxed on to finish there when 4th (22.95) at Ballarat. Tough to beat if on-song. TRUE RAGE (7) looks close to win after hitting the frame last run (25.99) at Ballarat in a Maiden. Has first look at box 7 this time. Deserves a win and gets his chance. ASTON NEUTRON (1) was seventh in a Maiden two back then in traffic and fell last time at Ballarat. Must include in calculations. PAW WANDA (3) has been in the placings at her last two runs, most recently when third (23.15) in a Bottom Up - Maiden over 400m at Geelong.

Failed to finish the race over 390m at Ballarat on September 28. Well drawn; last couple have been below par. Deserves another chance.

Has hit the frame the last two starts, the latest at double figure odds when third (23.15) over 400m at Geelong. Drawn close to the inside. Has ability and should run well.

Hasn't shown any early speed lately and drifts back in her races. Last start finished sixth over 500m at this track, beaten 9 lengths. Other runners look much more appealing.

Has ability but remains a maiden after five starts, the most recent effort a fourth (22.95) over 390m at Ballarat. Returns to a favoured course. Looks the testing material.

Has shown little speed out of the boxes and drifts back in her races. Last start finished fourth over 425m at this track, beaten 7 lengths. Happy enough to avoid.
