Bendigo racing tips

—

Race 1. (12:30) Bet365 Odds Drift Maiden (1000m)

#2 –Big Star @ $5.50

BET NOW

Big Star has drawn wide in barrier 20, but the two-year-old filly only needs a touch of luck from out there to go close.

The daughter of Starcraft has been solid at the trials, and she comes off two impressive jumpout wins, hence the shortening odds.

We’re happy to include her in picks in the opener.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 2. (13:00) Workforce Extensions Maiden (1300m)

#1 – Blue Hawaiian @ $1.60

BET NOW

Blue Hawaiian runs at short odds after finishing second in all three career starts, and we’re not surprised by the odds.

The Moody/Coleman-trained filly ran second at Seymour last time out, and getting the inside draw with 2kg off her back helps.

Take the odds to boost payouts.

Stake: 3 Units

Race 3. (13:30) Bendigo Magazine Maiden (1300m)

#1 – Ad Vitam @ $3.90

BET NOW

Ad Vitam has attracted support on debut after winning a jumpout at Cranbourne, and that’s usually good form for a debut run.

The three-year-old gelding by Proisir will need a touch of luck from a wide draw, but there are no superstars in this field.

We expect money to come for him on race day.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 4. (14:00) The Big Screen Company Maiden (1600m)

#14 – Vineux @ $16.00

BET NOW

Punters get value odds for Vineux, who comes off a jumpout win at Colac, and that form could be good enough to hold up here.

The three-year-old filly by Almanzor is in good hands with Mitchell Freedman, and she should get a nice run throughout from the draw.

$16 is a fair price from bookmakers, so include her in picks.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 5. (14:30) Ranbuild Sheds Cup BM78 (3600m)

#6 – Split @ $3.20

BET NOW

Split turned his form around when scoring at Bendigo last time out, and he loves running over this distance.

The five-year-old son of Turn Me Loose won his only start at the track, and getting in with only 54kg makes him tough to beat.

Money has come for him, so we’re happy to include him in picks.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 6. (15:00) Budget Car & Truck Hire BM64 (1500m)

#6 – Teser @ $8.50

BET NOW

Teser is better for two runs back from a spell, and it’s only a matter of time before he gets back to winning form.

The six-year-old son of Reset owns two wins and four placings from 21 starts, but he has been taking on tricky midweek fields.

He should find this slightly easier, so take the value odds.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 7. (15:30) Roll the Dice Racing BM64 (1500m)

#3 – Yam @ $6.50

BET NOW

Yam comes off consecutive wins at Albury and Swan Hill, and that form is good enough to hold up at Bendigo.

The Chris Wedding-trained gelding loves running on soft tracks with five starts for a win and four placings, which is a good record.

Getting the inside draw with 2kg off his back, so include him in picks.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 8. (16:00) Bendigo Mazda BM64 (1000m)

#3 – Rivkin @ $7.00

BET NOW

Boasting four placings from his last five start is Rivkin, who ran second at his only start at Bendigo.

The five-year-old son of Pariah also owns two wins and five placings over the distance, so the stats read well.

Getting 4kg off his back is ideal, and we’re not surprised by the money coming for him.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 9. (16:30) Smartloans Bendigo BM64 (1300m)

#12 – Kira @ $3.90

BET NOW

Kira broke maidens five starts back before placing in four consecutive runs, which is tidy form for this race.

The consistent four-year-old won’t take long to win another race, and jumping from barrier four only helps her cause on Thursday.

The $3.90 is likely to firm on race day, so take the early odds.

Stake: 2 Units
