Bronte Nieuwenburg has done the form for tonight’s strong eight-race card at Bendigo.
R1 – 5.59pm – Pastor Stephen @ Llowalong Farms Trot – 1650m
8 – Centurion Dream
11 – Coconut Mickey
9 – Everybodylovesme
6 – The Dark Thunder
Centurian Dream is a talented mare who has raced against some top-level trotters in her age group throughout her career, including Keayang Zahara. She’s earned nearly $60,000 despite only recording two wins, which is quite remarkable. This preparation, she’s had little luck with barriers, often forced to make long runs and create her own opportunities. This field does look a touch easier, and with some luck in running, she’s right in the mix.
BACK: 8 Centurion Dream – 1 unit (win) / 2 units (place)
R2 – 6.25pm – Garrards Horse & Hound Pace – 1650m
10 – Fire Marshall
6 – Allornothinglevi
9 – Test Of Fire
7 – Maxy Bomber
R3 – 6.59pm – Spring H2o Pace – 2150m
8 – Swiss Lightening
7 – Salsboy
5 – Our Mystery Bet
10 – Princess Arna
Swiss Lightening has been outstanding in his last three starts. He’s shown versatility by winning both from behind the leader and by sustaining long runs. He holds the standout sectional times in this field. While the barrier is awkward, he’s still the one to beat.
BACK: 8 Swiss Lightening – 2.5 units (win)
R4 – 7.31pm – Haeuslers Echuca 3yo Maiden Pace – 1650m
9 – Random Mahoney
8 – Rocknmetro
3 – Major Bye
2 – Ted Bear
Random Mahoney is racing better than his form on paper suggests. Last start he covered an extra 34 metres racing wide and was forced to make a long run. That was his first-up run, and he’ll only improve from it. He is well bred and shapes as the type who will continue to progress with age and racing.
BACK: 9 Random Mahony – 2 units (win)
R5 – 8.05pm – Aldebaran Park 2yo Maiden Trot – 2150m
6 – Aldebaran Ada
4 – Redbluenpurple
8 – Ollies Dream
5 – Argyle Muse
Aldebaran Ada is a smart filly with plenty of ability. Forget her last start when she galloped in the Nutrien Equine Classic, as she was eye-catching the run prior when finishing third in the prelude. She looks to have a bright future, with her chances here hinging on her keeping in stride.
BACK: 6 Aldebaran Ada – 2.5 units (win)
R6 – 8.35pm – Aldebaran Park Need For Speed Prince (1st Heat) – 1650m
6 – Commodus
2 – Ezra Kai
8 – Watts Up The Hill
7 – Aldebaran Abel
R7 – 9.11pm – Aldebaran Park Need For Speed Prince (2nd Heat) – 1650m
2 – Sam Nien
6 – Claudys Hero
8 – Ijustcalledtosay
4 – Kyvalley Jagger
R8 – 9.47pm – Aldebaran Park Need For Speed Princess (Heat) – 1650m
9 – Tracy The Jet
6 – Queen Kizen
5 – Keayang Kurki
4 – I Am Wilma

R7: 2, 4, 6, 8
R8: 9

** A betting unit is typically a percentage of the total bankroll or the amount of money you are willing to risk on a particular bet – for example 1 unit is 10% of your bankroll, therefore with a $100 bankroll 1 unit equals $10.
