Bendigo Race 12 - One More Race To Go
RAVEN XANDER (6) showed little early speed at her last couple, the latest finishing fourth (22.81) in a Grade 5 at Ballarat. Form at the trip sound including three wins. Rates on top in this line up. DEB CABANG (8) was beaten for speed from wide out but attacked the line strongly to place, 3 lengths from the winner (24.45) at this track in Bottom Up - Grade 5. Expecting another good run. HOT SPOT (2) failed to come into contention last start at Ballarat, but prior to that won by 2.25 lengths at Ballarat (25.79) beating Auntie Amber in a Grade 5 on April 27. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and two minor placings to her credit. Shapes as one to consider. HELLO COOPER (1) collected a minor prize last start in a close contest - must be considered.

Sent out long odds last time but rocketed out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a nose second (24.52) over 425m at this track. Found one better last time. Looks well placed and is worth following up.

Returns from a spell and worth noting was a winner when last resuming, scoring over 390m at Shepparton. Looks a key chance fresh.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage eighth last time out over 425m at this track. Prefer in something easier.
