Bendigo Tips April 24


Bet365 Never Ordinary Handicap Tips (Race 3)


Bendigo Next Best Bet - Race 3 No. 1 Black Storm

Tim Fitzsimmon’s showed up well in nine starts in Singapore including when winning twice with the most recent of those victories coming in January last year.

The pick won by less than half-a-length in a 1600m event and he went on to place second in two of his three subsequent starts in that country. 

The son of Caravaggio registered a jump out win from three outings before returning to action when jumping at $1.90 for a 1350m Benchmark 64 handicap at Donald earlier this month.

The selection was the subject of market support that day and while a beaten favourite the form of that race has been boosted by a subsequent win for the fourth home at Echuca last week. 

The five-year-old returned with a laceration to a foreleg following that Donald defeat and he is expected to appreciate the return to 1600m he gets here.

An inside barrier and forecast good 4 track are both positives for the gelding who looks up to returning to winning ways.

Bendigo Property Maintenance Maiden Plate Tips (Race 4)


Bendigo Value Bet - Race 4 No. 2 Better Shape Up

A $200,000 purchase at the Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale in 2023 the gelding headed into his debut effort at Geelong without any barrier trial or jump out experience.

The three-year-old trailed in last of eight having been slowly away in a 1147m contest held on a soft 5 track in September that day and he was freshened following that effort.

The selection appeared to have benefitted from that experience when going on to finish in mid-division when beaten just over four lengths at Swan Hill subsequently.

Stepped up to 1300m and racing on a good 4 track the gelding kept on nicely having raced from off the pace on that occasion.

The pick was spelled following that effort and he returned to action with a fourth in a jump out over 1050m at Donald earlier this month.

Archie Alexander’s representative is fitted with cheekpieces for the first time here and with further improvement expected looks value to break through for his first win.

Workforce Extensions Handicap Tips (Race 5)


Bendigo Best Bet - Race 5 No. 4 Gift Of Oratory

The five-year-old has been in good form this prep finishing in the top three in all four starts since resuming with a third over 1606m at Benalla in January.

Those subsequent efforts include a half-length success when contesting a 1950m Benchmark 0-58 handicap at Yarra Valley in February.

The son of Churchill has been stepped back up in distance for both subsequent outings placing second on each occasion including on a wet track at Bairnsdale last month. 

With that in mind a slight softening of the going would be no issue for the pick who arrives here on the back of a two length second in an eight-runner 2460m Benchmark 64 handicap at Mornington.

The selection, who has often raced from the front in the past should have no issues racing prominently given he looks the main pace angle in this field.  

The booking of Celine Gaudray takes the eye with the rider boasting a 23% strike-rate (21/90) when riding for the Ben, JD & Will Hayes team and they can improve on that with a win here.

CluBarham Handicap Tips (Race 7)


Bendigo Roughie - Race 7 No. 7 Ziggy Starcraft

The three-year-old registered four trial efforts including when second in a Horsham jump out prior to making his debut at Swan Hill last month.

The selection raced on the pace having jumped barrier nine when registering a half-length success in a 1300m maiden on that occasion.

The good 4 going appeared to suit on that occasion with the three-year-old going on to race from the front when stepped up to 1350m at Donald subsequently.

The pick showed up well at Donald and while he faded into sixth, beaten four lengths that day that was a solid first effort against previous winners. 

That Donald contest has already produced a winner while the runner-up Black Storm is our pick in the third race of the day here. 

Paul Preusker’s youngster boasts a good barrier three from the rail here and he may prove capable of delivering the second win of his career with John Allen up for the first time.
