Tim O'Connor has done the form for tonight's meeting at Bendigo.

R1 – 6.34pm – Bendigo Locksmiths Free For All – 1650m

4 – Rakero Slammer

10 – Tango Tara

3 – Ozzie Punta

8 – Sew What

R2 – 7.12pm – Bendigo Ski Boat Centre NMW Pace – 1650m

8 – Bolramski

11 – Harryhoo

9 – Kathys Free

6 – Emily Vincent

Bolramski has a difficult draw but probably brings the best form into this. A 4.5m defeat to Blake Bolac reads well, as does a death seat second to Tallulah Lee (won again at Cranbourne) in good time at Ballarat.

BACK: 8 Bolramski – 1 unit (win)

R3 – 7.47pm – Prydes Easifeed Pace – 2150m

3 – Telemachus

5 – Raging Whitebait

9 – Diamond Eclipse

8 – Shadow Celt

Raging Whitebait looks very handy and deserves to be a short favourite, but I think Telemachus can run a race at odds. He finished well at Cranbourne and was held up and charged home on NYE behind Corravally Star. In good form.

BACK: 3 Telemachus – 0.5 unit (each-way)

R4 – 8.19pm – Worlds Best Hoof Oil Pace – 1650m

9 – Cheerstolou

1 – Atomic Glory

5 – Anakin

2 – Guaranteed Secret

Cheerstolou drops back in grade here a bit I fancy after chasing home some nice horses recently, including Sweetnikkilou and Kendys Butterfly. That reads well for a race like this.

BACK: 9 Cheerstolou – 1 unit (win)

R5 – 8.57pm – Aldebaran Park Maori Mile – 1609m

6 – Arcee Phoenix

5 – Queen Elida

10 – Keayang Chucky

8 – Lovemeto

R6 – 9.22pm – Garrards Horse & Hound Bendigo Pacing Cup – 2650m

5 – Tact Mcleod

9 – Triple Eight

11 – Cantfindabettorman

7 – Serg Blanco

Tact Mcleod was well fancied for the Inter Dominion before a foot issue saw him scratched and then he won well in a junior driver race on finals night. He brings good NZ form to Australia and maps to find the front here with most of his key dangers on the back row. Hard to beat.

BACK: 5 Tact Mcleod – 2 units (win)

R7 – 9.50pm – J & A Mazzetti Painting Mares Pace – 1650m

9 – Younggiftedandblack

8 – Heavenly Gipsy

6 – Vee Em Gee Macray

5 – Just As Well

Been a huge fan of Younggiftedandblack for some time and she looks ready to go first-up after a couple of nice trials. Has the class factor and can do it tough or come with one run.

BACK: 9 Younggiftedandblack – 2 units (win)

R8 – 10.19pm – Sheahan Plumbing Trot – 1650m

4 – Destrier

6 – Thunda Struck

7 – Picket Wire

9 – Aldebaran Boyd

Destrier was stuck four pegs last time out and flew late to run fourth. He was in front not long after the post. Was badly held up from a similar position the start prior and charged home to be beaten 5.3m to Perfidious Sue. He’s in great form and looks a good each-way play.

BACK: 4 Destrier – 1.5 units (each-way)

R9 – 10.47pm – Haras Des Trotteurs Trot – 1650m

1 – Aldebaran Acrux

4 – Illawong Larajay

5 – Sundons Courage

6 – Aardiebythehill

QUADDIE
