Visit Dabble


It is Bendigo Cup Day on Wednesday afternoon, with a stacked nine-race meeting set to kick off at 12:30pm AEDT. The track should be in perfect order, and the rail is set in the true position for the Bendigo Jockey Club’s marquee day. Read on to see our best bets and quaddie selections.

Bendigo Cup Top Tip – Muramasa

Muramasa could not have been any more impressive when claiming the Group 3 Coongy Cup (2000m). The four-year-old gelding was aided by an inch-perfect ride at Caulfield and pounced on the lead inside the final 100m. He was only getting warm late by the looks of things, so the extra 400m should suit. Barrier 12 is offset by his want to be towards the rear of the field. As long as he can get a tow into the race 600m out, Muramasa looks too hard to go past in the 2023 Bendigo Cup.

Best Bet at Bendigo – Alectrona

Alectrona has her hoof on the till with two runner-up performances to begin this campaign. The Tony & Calvin McEvoy-trained filly chased home the smart Bizot at Ballarat on October 15 and the start prior went down by a narrow margin. Both of those starts were at 1200m and she looks like she is crying out for 1400m, which she gets in Wednesday’s opener. Harry Coffey can stalk the speed from barrier one throughout, and with even luck in the home straight, Alectrona should be breaking maiden ranks at start five.

Next Best at Bendigo – Is It Me

The Daniel Bowman-trained Is It Me beat all bar Thousand Guineas (1600m) favourite Skybird upon resumption over 1300m last time out. The four-year-old son of Iffraaj hardly knows how to run a poor race (6: 2-3-0) and is armed with a strong turn of foot, while the booking of Damien Oliver only helps. From barrier one, he will need luck at a certain stage in the home straight, but if the gap comes, Is It Me looks to be a touch too classy for his rivals in the final race of the day.

Next Best Again at Bendigo – Tidal Force

Despite only winning by a nostril at both starts in Australia, Tidal Force looks set to bring up a third win in as many starts. The Trent Busuttin & Natalie Young-trained gelding produced a strong finishing burst at Pakenham and then again at Echuca over 1200m and then 1400m, which suggests the 1600m should be ideal third-up. Blaike McDougall will have him at the rear of the field, and in a small field of eight, he should always be within striking distance.
