Bendigo Race 12 - One More Race To Go (300+ Rank)
PUNCH DRUNK LOVE (1) doesn't have the best strike-rate. Better run when finding the frame last time though, finishing third (19.67) at Healesville. Form at the trip sound including two wins. Key chance in this line up. PAW FERNA (3) was below best last time finishing seventh at Shepparton, but prior to that had been racing well including a Bottom Up - Grade 6 win two back at Healesville. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. MOTIVATE (8) is a capable type and proved too strong last time to win by half a length at Shepparton in a handy 25.64 beating Auntie Amber. Winner at his latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. One of the leading chances again. DOOKIE GIBLET (2) is another with top-three prospects.

Suited by inside box. Latest effort finished 3rd in a Bottom Up - Grade 5 on March 9 over 350m at Healesville behind Inga Buddy beaten 3 lengths (19.67). More than capable and has to be included.

Good effort to win last start by 1.3 lengths over 425m at this track in a handy (24.34), beating Atomic Diva. Makes appeal on the back of that latest win.

Lines up chasing another win after scoring over 450m at Shepparton in 25.64, set up by a fast early sectional. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of the latest win.
