Bendigo April 20th, Tips and Previews
Best Bet - Race 1
1
Bors $2
Defeat after defeat.
He is a seven-start maiden to date and comes into this maiden event as a $2 elect, but he should probably be $1.50 in this field based on his ratings through the first seven runs of his career.
Jockey Craig Williams has shown faith and loyalty in the horse by electing to stick with him for this race.
The horse has the form, fitness and stamina to deliver a sustained run good enough to win.
Next Best - Race 7
2
Confrontational $8/$3.10
Confrontational will need to run in the top two for a collect in this race with there being less than eight runners.
He does possess the right talent and form on the board to be a serious winning hope.
His resuming run at Sandown over 1600 metres was his first race since January.
Forget about the losing margin and where he finished.
Putting focus on the benefit he will derive from the run is where to focus the attention.
And, while his numbers might not read for great viewing on wet tracks, his most recent runs on slippery ground have actually been in tougher races at the Magic Millions meeting in the Gold Coast.
This race is far easier than those and he is in this up to his ears.
Best Roughie - Race 8
9
Richter $14/$5
Another race which has been butchered by scratching, but it opens up the door for Ricther to run a race at long odds.
The return of Lee & Shannon Hope to the training ranks has them guide this four-year-old gelding to victory at Kilmore in BM-58 level and he now gets some weight relief by rising in grade.
He raced like a horse who would appreciate a bit of extra distance and getting up to 1300 metres should suit him.
The Bet Nation roughie of the day at Bendigo.
Have an each-way ticket on him.
