The main race is the $400,000 Bendigo Cup. Read our 2020 Bendigo Cup Preview.
Think ‘N’ Fly (Bendigo 8 No. 3)
This So You Think gelding has had nine starts for three wins and a place, and all three wins have been at this distance. He settled 6th and was too keen mid race then battled on steadily for 4 lengths 8th over 1400m at Sandown Hillside on 9 September. After a 4 week break he chased hard the entiore straight for 0.5 length, 0.1 length 3rd over 1600m at Bendigo on 7 October. That was his first look at the track and he can handle wet conditions. He should be ready to win third-up.

Zebrowski (Bendigo Race 7 No. 6):
This Savabeel gelding trained by team Hawkes has been racing in Group races this campaign and has been going well without winning. He is currently 25th in the Melbourne Cup order of entry and needs to do something here to secure one of the 24 spots. He finished 4.1 lengths 6th in the Group 1 Metropolitan over 2400m at Randwick on 3 October, then was outkicked but chased hard the entire straight for 1.25 lengths 2nd in the Group 2 Herbert Power Stakes over 2400m at Caulfield on 10 October. He looks a solid each-way bet.

Rock Prophet (Bendigo Race 4 No. 12):
This four-year-old gelding trained by Ray Besanko at Cranbourne is the early favourite in this BM 78 handicap over 1100m. He battled on out wide for 4.35 lengths 12th in the Group 3 The Heath over 1100 at Caulfield on 29 August, then chased steadily for 2.5 lengths 7th in the Group 2 Bobbie Lewis Quality over 1200m at Flemington on 12 September. This is a big drop in class but he is drawn wide and rises in weight.

Key Comments Small 7 race card. The best bet is in the last. Expecting those on speed to be suited with the rail true. Best Bet Saiko (Moruya Race 7 No. 2) Can be hard to catch but ticks boxes here. Maps well, goes well at the trip and gets conditions to suit. Doesn't win out of turn but same could be said for most of these. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Bryce Parker Each Way Halkis (Moruya Race 2 No. 4) Has been around the mark both runs this prep. Weighted very well after the claim and any luck from the draw will be very hard to beat.

Key Comments The feature is the Listed Sheila Gwynne Classic for fillies & mares (race 6). The track is Good and the rail is +5 metres the entire circuit. Best Bet Siren Assault (Ascot Race 1 No. 1) This filly won 2 in a row before a game 5th in the Group 2 Karrakatta Plate over 1200m here on 20th April. Provided she can handle the 7 day back-up she will be too good for this field. Check odds on SmartB Analyst:

Key Comments The rail is true. The track is in the soft range. The best bet is halfway through the day and surprised about the odds on offer for it still. Needs to lug weight but is a huge hope against this field. Best Bet Arctic Legend (Tamworth Race 5 No. 2) Steps up in grade but was nothing short of brilliant when resuming from a long break. Suited to this field. Should be able to go right on with things here and

Key Comments The track is rated Good and the rail is in the true position. Best Bet Isle Eight (Mackay Race 2 No. 1) This gelding from Rockhampton has been runner-up at his last 2 starts there. He tends to get back in his races and runs on. Looks ready to win. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson Each Way Cerared (Mackay Race 3 No. 6) Cerared placed here 3 starts back, then was a
