Bendigo (G) Race 12

One More Race To Go

Prize Money: $1,530

RIVIA UMIKO (1) took advantage of a low draw and quickly found the front, hanging on for a minor placing and beaten a neck (22.54) at Ballarat in a Grade 5 over 390m. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings two times from three attempts. Can go on with it. PEST MANAGEMENT (7) turned in a plain effort last time when sixth at Sandown over 515m behind Betsie Bale (30.77) in a Grade 5. Form from her last run is proving to be solid. Can do much better this time. BLACK COMPASS (6) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing sixth (22.75) in a Grade 4/5 at Shepparton. Has a good record at this journey. The form out of last race has been strong. Better than last start and can bounce back. HE'S HELL BENT (2) can return to form after missing the top-three at this circuit last time out.

Didn't make the placings last time at Sandown (30.77) in a Grade 5, finishing a 10 length sixth. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed two times. Key chance and should go close.
