Bendigo Racing Tips
Track: Good 4. Rail: Out 6m entire circuit
Best Bet: Race 2- FINE DANE
=====
Race 1: Maiden Plate 1300m
BRUTAL POWER (6) has placed at two of his three runs, he would have been a moral had he drawn a better barrier but he is out in the carpark and that may prove a problem. He has good speed, if he can get across and lead or control the tempo he will be very hard to run down.
Dangers:
MY BOSS (9) was well beaten on debut but looks to have a lot to learn, he layed in badly when never un the race. He looks to be a big improver. SCIPIO (10) was a little outpaced last time when resuming but ran through the line well and the extra distance looks to suit. Watch for any money for those on debut, in particular HIGH DONE (7) for Weir who was very quiet in his only trial.
Race 2: 3YO BM70 Handicap 1100m
FINE DANE (2) looks the best of good things here. He was a dominant winner on debut then went to Caulfield where he was forced to work hard early when over-racing up on the speed against last seasons Blue Diamond winner. He should be able to get on the speed from the perfect draw and nbe too good.
Dangers:
OKAY BOSS (3) has been good at both first-up runs, he resumes here off a 4 month break here without an official trial, he will also be up on the speed. ROBE DE FETE (1) comes through the same race as the top selection, he was a little plain then but is better than that. BEAUTY (6) is a last start maiden winner on debut across the border, he has won a recent trial in prep for this so looks ready to go. Has the speed to be on the pace throughout from the good gate.
Race 3: Super VOBIS Maiden Plate 2400m
Not a race that I would like to get involved in. The favourite is likely to be MADAM STOWELL (8), a 16-start maiden that will get back? No thanks. In saying that there is not a lot of depth to the race. MR KARDASHIAN (2) goes on top on an each-way basis, he was poor at his first two career starts but they were both on heavy tracks. Showed improvement last time and will keep grinding away. ROSSGO (3) has not run a place in 8 career starts but should be up on the pace for a long way. MADAM STOWELL (8) has to be included and KALEDI (7) ticks a lot of the same boxes, she has had enough chances but has been consistent of late. She will break the maiden status sooner rather than later.
Race 4: BM64 Handicap 1600m
SILENT ROAR (6) was good up on the sped resuming on the synthetic last time, she sped over form the seven gate and was only run down late. She won her only other second-up run, which admittedly was her maiden win, but she ahs enough speed to lead these and prove very hard to catch.
Dangers:
SUBRAISE (8) will probably start the favourite, he was a short-priced favourite when winning his maiden two back at Bendigo, then went to Flemington and was good behind the Oaks favourite last start. ARKAMUN (3) has been a little enigmatic throughout his career, he has versatility and the options will be there from the widest gate early. DEWRINKLER (2) doesn’t have a lot of brilliance, his only win came in a highweight but he will keep plugging away.
Race 5: Fillies and Mares BM70 Handicap 1600m
It looks a really open race on paper with basically all but the resuming ONE FOR LATER (3) a chance. ONE MORE TRY (2) beat the girls in an easier race last time, she was worse than mid-field before charging clear for an easy win. PAMANDO (4) had the right run with cover out wide last time, but the way that she ran through the line was impressive. She maps to settle a lot closer here. PIERROCITY (5) came over from NZ for her first Oz start last time, she was well back before running on hard and only getting up in the last strides. She has to be respected but may be a little flat second-up.
Race 6: BM64 Handicap 1400m
RINGERDINGDING (10) was super late last time, he came down from NSW with only an average record but he had been racing the best of his age group north of the border. He was a little flat-footed fresh but charged late, he looks a huge improver and should appreciate the extra furlong.
Dangers:
MY MOTHER SAYS (7) won her first two starts this campaign, led them up at Ballarat last time and was headed early but fought on gamely to narrowly go under in a three-way go. MERCY STREET (5) has been very consistent in two starts this campaign, he may settle closer here but look for him late. ESHTIRAAK (3) was good at Flemington in similar grade last time, he was off the track throughout and didn’t shirk the task. Being stuck three-wide no cover there at the 7 furlongs is deadly.
Race 7: BM70 Handicap 2400m
CHARLIE ROAD (6) is a last start winner at 64 grade, he has been racing consistently this time in and looks suited by the extra trip. He charged home from last in that win at Sale over 2200m, gets the extra furlong here, look for him late.
Dangers:
It does look an open race though. TRULY HIGH (8) from the Weir yard is racing well, he has placed at his last couple since winning a 64 at Sandown. He is also likely to get well back and run on hard. NOT AN AMBITURNER (9) looks the leader, he is only lightly raced lining up for start four, this is harder than what he had been racing but he will keep grinding away in front. IMPERIAL EDITION (10) is another from the weir stable that will get back and run on.
Race 8: BM70 Handicap 1300m
Dartboard job! Hopefully you have played wide in the Quaddie here because it could be anything! INDIAN THUNDER (5) has only won 2 of 15 but usually runs on pretty well. BRAVO TANGO (2) was good late last time at Flemington, he was held-up at a vital stage before charging late. SPIRIT OF AQUADA (8) is another that had no luck last start when held-up at a vital stage before getting out late and running on hard. SUPER SNOB (15) has a shocking first-up record but warrants respect with her overall record. PLAY WIDE!
