Bronte Nieuwenburg has done the form for tonight’s competitive eight-race card at Bendigo.
R1 – 6.00pm – King Of The North – Walners Champion Son Pace Final – 2150m
1 – Swiss Lightning
2 – Wheres Wood Wood
11 – Nothing Sweeter
8 – Salsboy
R2 – 6.32pm – Poster Boy With 2yo Colt Of The Year 3yo Maiden Pace – 2150m
1 – Major Bye
11 – Random Mahoney
3 – Myrtle May
4 – Captain Grin
R3 – 7.00pm – Pastor Stephen @ Llowalong Farms Trot (1st Heat) – 2150m
11 – Rakero Warrior
5 – Macho Maori
10 – Karbine
6 – Piesridingshotgun
R4 – 7.33pm – Soho Tribeca – Son Of The Great American Ideal Pace – 1650m
11 – Cee Cee Lou
4 – Starzinhereyes
3 – Michen Roy
2 – Allornothinglevi
Cee Cee Lou was brilliant, coming from last to win last start from the same barrier. He had to cover an extra 37 metres to claim that victory. It’s a very similar field here, and it won’t be easy, but he can win again.
BACK: 11 Cee Cee Lou – 2 units (win)
R5 – 8.00pm – Heidi George Mares Classic (Vicbred Voucher) Pace Final – 1650m
9 – Ruby Wingate
3 – Illawong Phoenix
1 – Princess Arna
10 – She Haunts Em
R6 – 8.30pm – Yankee Rockstar @ Llowalong Farms Concession Drivers Pace – 1650m
10 – Big Rig Saint
8 – Yankee Gambler
5 – Wow You Can Dance
1 – Carly Perez
Let’s forget Big Rig Saint’s last start, as he was checked badly at the beginning. Prior to that, he won really well at Shepparton. He’s a versatile horse, and with a scratching he now comes out of barrier nine, which is very suitable for him.
BACK: 10 Big Rig Saint – 2.5 units (win)
R7 – 9.00pm – Agistment, Breeding & Embryo Transfer @ Llowalong Farms Pace – 1650m
8 – Direct Command
4 – Emjay Jazz
9 – Tupelo Beach
7 – Shaq
Direct Command impressed when leading throughout to score last start, but he faces a tougher test from an awkward draw tonight. He races particularly well for driver Luke Dunne, who is back in the sulky. He’ll need some luck from the barrier, but his personal times are clearly the best in this field.
BACK: 8 Direct Command – 2 units (win)
R8 – 9.35pm – Northern Rivers Equine Vet Clinic & Llowalong Farms Trot – 2150m
6 – Queen Kizen
5 – Bullapark Beno
2 – Bennie And The Jets
1 – That’s Dudley
Former New Zealand trotting filly Queen Kizen is a half-sister to superstar mare Queen Elida, who was also prepared by trainer Brent Lilley. She impressed me in her recent trial at Melton. She raced at the top level in her age-group races in New Zealand and looks to be a talented type. I’m looking forward to seeing what she can do here in Australia.
BACK: 6 Queen Kizen – 3.5 units (win)
QUADDIE (Races 5-8)
1, 3, 9, 10
1, 5, 8, 10
4, 7, 8, 9
2, 5, 6
