Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted August 29, 2023 Journalists Share Posted August 29, 2023 What Bendigo Races Where Bendigo Jockey Club – Heinz St, White Hills VIC 3550 When Thursday, August 31, 2023 First Race 1pm AEST Visit Ladbrokes The Bendigo Jockey Club is set to host a competitive eight-race program on Thursday afternoon. Perfect weather is forecast leading up to the day, so there should be no excuses for any runners who mean business. The track is rated a Good 4, the rail is out 3m the entire trip, and racing commences at 1pm AEST. Best Bet at Bendigo – Handshake Paul Preusker’s Handshake has struck a purple patch of form in recent times, with two wins and three minors from his past five runs. The six-year-old gelding thrashed a BM58 field at Warrnambool on July 31 and now strikes a somewhat similar field. From barrier seven, if Ryan Houston can land the one-one – or, at worst, midfield with cover – the pair should be continuing their winning form. Best Bet Race 5 – #2 Handshake (7) 6yo Gelding | T: Paul Preusker | J: Ryan Houston (a3) (62kg) Bet with PendleburyBet Next Best at Bendigo – Awol Hailing from the Ciaron Maher & David Eustace barn, Awol returned with a narrow third at Swan Hill on August 3. The four-year-old missed the kick first-up and did well to finish within a half-length of the eventual winner. His lone career win came second-up at the Warrnambool 1400m when leading throughout, and if John Allen can find the front on Thursday, Awol can go two from two second-up. Next Best Race 8 – #8 Awol (4) 4yo Gelding | T: Ciaron Maher & David Eustace | J: John Allen (59kg) Bet with Dabble Next Best Again at Bendigo – Red Dates Having not been seen since finishing third behind Scheelite at Sandown in April, three-year-old Red Dates looks set to return a winner on Thursday. The Extreme Choice filly wasn’t beaten far by Group 1-calibre fillies at her only other start at Cranbourne and, without a doubt, brings the best form lines into this race. From barrier eight, Blake Shinn will take luck out of the equation and have Red Dates leading upon settling, and from there she should prove too hard to gun down. Next Best Again Race 3 – #8 Red Dates (8) 3yo Filly | T: Leon & Troy Corstens | J: Blake Shinn (56kg) Bet with Neds Thursday quaddie tips for Bendigo Bendigo quadrella selections Thursday, August 31, 2023 2-10 1-4-8-10 1-2-9-10-12 2-5-8 Investment: $120 for 100% More racing tips View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
