Bendigo Race 4 - Hip Pocket Bendigo
ASTON NEUTRON (1) broke from this box and proved too strong when a 2.75 lengths winner in fast time (24.36) in a Bottom Up - Maiden at this track. Expected to go close again. RIPPER RUFUS (7) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing sixth (25.03) in a Bottom Up - Grade 7 at this track. Should be thereabouts. ASTON ABRAFO (8) turned in a modest effort most recently when sixth at Geelong over 400m behind Ken Kaneki (23.30) in a Grade 7. Should be in this for a long way. EXCITABLE DASH (2) should be thereabouts.

Could only manage fifth last time but the start prior hit the frame at double figure odds when third (17.25) over 300m at Healesville. Aided by a low draw and can measure up.

Modest effort last time out when fourth over 425m at this track. Can't make much of a case this time.

Backs up after winning by half a length at Shepparton (23.12) beating Seven Samurai in a Maiden on October 8 six days ago. This is much harder assignment and she needs to find another gear.

Didn't finish two back and couldn't make the frame last time when he finished 6th over 425m at this track beaten 12 lengths (25.03) behind Ransom in a Bottom Up - Grade 7 on October 10. Below best last time but looks well placed here. Deserves another chance.

Missed the frame latest (23.30) when sixth over 400m at Geelong in a Grade 7. Starts from box 8 for the first time here. Looks suited here and can measure up.
