Bendigo Race 12 - Sportsbet Blackbook
MORAINE PIPER (1) has mixed form recently, finishing fifth (24.37) in a Free For All at this track latest but did run well two back when in the frame. This looks easier and expected to bounce back. SPICY ASSASSIN (5) was always well back but did hit the line strongly late to finish 5th and beaten only 4 lengths (22.98) at Geelong. Will give the top chances plenty to think about. COCONUT CARTER (4) boasts a strong record this journey here with three wins and two minors from seven tries. Below best last time at this track (24.33) in a Restricted WIN H, finishing a 7 length sixth. Looks one of the chances. KEY BEGONIA (2) looks an each-way chance.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage eighth last time out over 450m at Shepparton. This will test.

Didn't finish two back and couldn't make the frame last time when he finished last on March 4 over 500m at this track behind Salt Speckle beaten 15 lengths (29.01) in a Grade 5. Shouldn't trouble the top few hopes.
