Wednesday\u2019s Bendigo meeting looks a solid eight-race card, with good weather expected to provide ideal racing conditions across the program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The track is currently rated a Good 4, and with the rail pushed out 5m, it should play fairly, placing importance on race shape and rider timing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Skip ahead and check out the selections below.<\/p>\n\n\n

Race 1 – cluBarham 3YO Fillies Maiden Plate (1300 METRES) <\/div>\n
No. 1 Cherry Hills <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

CHERRY HILLS (1)<\/strong> makes her debut and profiles as a strong winning chance following a series of encouraging jump outs and a recent trial.<\/p>\n

The Hayes-trained filly should have no concerns stepping out to 1300m first-up, having been given a solid hit out when winning a 1400m trial last time.<\/p>\n

Earlier work saw her dominate a 1000m jump out where she led throughout with ease.<\/p>\n

Luke Currie partnered her in that trial and retains the ride.<\/p>\n

\n
Tip of The Day<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

KANDINKSY (6)<\/strong> looks very hard to beat in this maiden after an excellent return at Seymour.<\/p>\n

The Price & Kent Jnr-trained gelding raced awkwardly early and covered extra ground but still fought strongly, only being grabbed late.<\/p>\n

There was a clear gap back to third, and the form has stood up well since, with subsequent strong performances from key runners.<\/p>\n

He\u2019ll improve second-up and maps to enjoy a much kinder run with Mark Zahra aboard.<\/p>\n

Race 3 – Cathcart Smash Repairs 2YO Maiden Plate (1000 METRES) <\/div>\n
No. 15 Home Invasion <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

This shapes as a tricky event with most of the field on debut, so siding with race experience in HOME INVASION (15)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Waterhouse & Bott filly wasn\u2019t far away in the Group 3 Gimcrack Stakes when resuming, finishing fifth after being badly held up in the straight.<\/p>\n

She\u2019s since been given time and has trialled well, showing sharp speed in her latest outing where she led throughout.<\/p>\n

Jordan Childs takes the ride and should have her in the right spot from the outset.<\/p>\n

No. 9 Varadero <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

VARADERO (9)<\/strong> will take plenty of benefit from his strong debut performance at Geelong.<\/p>\n

The Shepherdson-trained gelding finished second despite pulling up lame, chasing home a runner with strong form references.<\/p>\n

That form ties in well with high-quality opposition, suggesting this is a very winnable race.<\/p>\n

Fitter for the run, he should position up on speed and prove hard to run down.<\/p>\n

\n

COULDTHISBETHEONE (1)<\/strong> comes here in great form, having won two of his last three starts.<\/p>\n

The Laurie-trained galloper was heavily backed last start at Pakenham and delivered with a strong finish.<\/p>\n

He clearly performs best on dry tracks and has already won at this venue.<\/p>\n

From a good draw, he looks set to get every opportunity with Jake Noonan aboard.<\/p>\n

\n

CLEVOR TREVER (4)<\/strong> showed steady improvement last campaign, breaking through for a strong maiden win at his third start.<\/p>\n

The Payne-trained gelding looked under pressure mid-race before producing a sharp turn of foot to score comfortably.<\/p>\n

He resumes here after a spell and has impressed in a recent trial, winning by a space.<\/p>\n

Billy Egan should settle him just off the speed and have him ready to strike late.<\/p>\n

No. 2 Prince Tycoon <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

PRINCE TYCOON (2)<\/strong> returns for his first run since a bleeding incident in tougher company last preparation.<\/p>\n

The Busuttin & Young gelding appears forward enough after two strong jump out wins leading in.<\/p>\n

This represents a drop in class compared to recent assignments, and he\u2019s already shown ability over this trip.<\/p>\n

With a favourable draw and a claim for Ryan Houston, he gets his chance to bounce back.<\/p>\n

DRAMATICUS (10)<\/strong> has had little luck in recent outings but continues to perform well.<\/p>\n

He resumed with a solid effort when held up at Morphettville, then again struck trouble last start at Pakenham when unable to get clear until late.<\/p>\n

His previous win at Donald was strong, highlighting his finishing ability.<\/p>\n

Now fully fit and likely to enjoy a better run in transit, he looks well placed to break through.<\/p>\n
