Golden Mile betting preview

The featured event on Bendigo’s nine-race card on Saturday afternoon is the Listed Golden Mile, which has attracted a field of 16 with three emergencies. With over half of these runners coming into the race first up, it will come down to the battle of the fittest with $150,000 on the line. The South Australian visitor Ironclad has come up a $4.20 favourite following a hat-trick of wins at Morphettville to begin the campaign this time in.

There looks to be a strong battle for the lead between Kenya and Inverloch, but we expect Kenya to take up the running from barrier 12. Look for the likes of Rock, Gallic Chieftain and Platoon to settle towards the rear of the field.

With a genuine mile expected to be run with the pacey Kenya leading the field, the Robert Hickmott-trained son of Galileo may well run them ragged over the 1600m. Having had three starts at the mile for two wins and a runner-up performance, we know he handles the mile and the former Irish galloper will appreciate the cut out of the ground. With two wins from five first-up runs, he generally fires fresh, and we can expect another top-class front-running steer from Jye McNeil. He will need to hold out a couple of fast finishers, but he has shown in the past he is more than capable of doing so. The minimum weight of 54kg also helps.

The one to follow at a bit of a price is the Echuca Cup winner Hi Stranger, who showed a sharp turn of foot to beat a handy field that included the classy Regardsmaree. The near four-length victory was full of merit, and with Beau Mertens hoping on his back for the first time he should settle in a handy position from barrier four. He looks a genuine each-way chance in a bid to string together consecutive victories.
