Bendigo Racing Tips

Race 1 – Ladbrokes Odds Surge 2YO Maiden Plate (1100m)

A competitive juvenile maiden with plenty of unraced runners, making stable strength and market moves important. Mauna Loa comes from a leading stable and has shown enough to be considered the horse to beat on debut. If the stable confidence translates to race day, this looks an ideal starting point.

Selections

1. Mauna Loa ($26.00) (odds subject to change)
2. My Boy Arnie ($101.00)
3. Cybersecurity ($4.60)
4. Cruise On Bye ($41.00)

Race 2 – Cathcart Smash Repairs Maiden Plate (1000m)

Scoobartie has been knocking on the door but Codename appeals as the value runner. The five-day back-up shouldn’t pose any issue after three consistent placings this preparation and another honest effort should see him right in the finish.

Selections

1. Codename ($7.50) (odds subject to change)
2. Scoobartie ($1.55)
3. Scusies ($13.00)
4. Tennessee Lights ($9.00)

Race 3 – Workforce Extensions Maiden Plate (1400m)

This maiden lacks depth and Iberian Lynx brings the strongest exposed form. A strong second at Ballarat first-up on a heavy track reads well and natural improvement second-up makes this a great opportunity to break through.

Selections

1. Iberian Lynx ($3.40) (odds subject to change)
2. Pick A Symphony ($7.00)
3. Vespasian ($6.00)
4. Deekaysgift ($81.00)

Race 4 – Race Services 3YO Fillies Maiden Plate (1300m)

The race looks to centre around the top pair. Full Display produced an encouraging debut placing at Swan Hill and should take improvement into her second career start. With race experience over several key rivals, she’s well placed to go close.

Selections

1. Full Display ($7.00) (odds subject to change)
2. Mission Of Joy ($3.50)
3. Outsidethesquare ($5.50)
4. Bellabama ($10.00)

Race 5 – Prowse Plumbing Fillies & Mares BM62 Handicap (1300m)

A quality BM62 where several runners have genuine claims. Pinot For Mike should strip fitter after recent runs and the Hayes-trained mare looks ready to produce her best. She maps well and offers appealing value against the favourites.

Selections

1. Pinot For Mike ($6.50) (odds subject to change)
2. Lantana ($4.80)
3. Marine Empress ($5.00)
4. Princess Mess ($3.50)

Race 6 – RMBL Investments Rising Stars Race (1000m)

Star Trip returns from a spell with an impressive early career record and looks well suited first-up. The form from previous preparations stacks up nicely for this grade and fresh runners from this stable are always respected.

Selections

1. Star Trip ($2.80) (odds subject to change)
2. In Haste ($7.00)
3. Eternal Darkness ($9.00)
4. Conflict ($12.00)

Race 7 – McDonald Electrical BM62 Handicap (2400m)

Staying races are often tactical, but Aurora Rise brings the right form into this contest. A narrow defeat last start suggests another win isn’t far away and the step to 2400m looks ideal given the way she finishes her races.

Selections

1. Aurora Rise ($3.40) (odds subject to change)
2. Brillantezza ($4.00)
3. Flashlight ($3.60)
4. Three Reel Roses ($15.00)

---

Race 8 – Budget Car And Truck Hire BM62 Handicap (1500m)

The Mean Fiddler maps to get every chance from the inside draw and should enjoy a soft run near the speed. If able to dictate the tempo, he can prove difficult to run down despite a competitive field.

Selections

1. The Mean Fiddler ($6.00) (odds subject to change)
2. Terrortorian ($5.00)
3. Komito ($13.00)
4. Le Beau Gosse ($11.00)
