Zelemar Zippa looks set to continue the run at Friday afternoon's meeting at Lord's Raceway on McIvor Road in Junortoun.
Purchased by Crocmedia's Off The Bench team for the Team Hutchy syndicate for $8000, Zelemar Zippa stepped out for the first time for new trainer Scott Stefanos at Shepparton on December 6 and was a game third.
From box two, Zelemar Zippa looks the runner to beat in the fourth at Bendigo.
Main danger is Bendigo sprinter Funda Fault, runner-up in fast time last start.
Should Zelemar Zippa salute in race four, Stefanos will be aiming for a race to race double when Spring Jade contests the fifth.
The former NSW sprinter flew the lids to score an all the way win at Shepparton in 22.37 over 390m before being run down in the straight when third over 450m at the same track.
Back to 425m this afternoon, Spring Jade will give her opposition something to catch.
Fellow speedster Final Bid is drawn on Spring Jade's immediate outside and she had registered a sub 24 second win at Bendigo which will make her hard to hold out.
A big Christmas Eve race meeting with plenty of activities and giveaways for the children is set down for Wednesday afternoon.
There is no racing at Bendigo's track on Boxing Day.
