Bendigo best bets & quaddie tips | November 24, 2022
| What | Bendigo Races |
| Where | Bendigo Jockey Club – Heinz St, White Hills VIC 3550 |
| When | Thursday, November 24, 2022 |
| First Race | 1:30pm AEDT |
Racing heads to the Bendigo Jockey Club on Thursday afternoon for a competitive eight-race program. As has been the case in Victoria in recent weeks, we are set to be racing on rain-affected ground, with the track currently rated a Soft 6, while the rail out 9m for the entire circuit. As the meeting goes on, we expect jockeys to veer away from the rail and look to use the fresh ground out wide on the grandstand rail. The day of action kicks off at 1:30pm AEDT.
Best Bet: Mr French
The Archie Alexander-trained Mr French thrashed his rivals in a 0-58 race at Geelong on November 13, and we anticipate he will go on with the job here. The four-year-old sat outside the leader throughout on that day, and when asked for an effort at the top of the straight, he quickened nicely and managed to put 4.5 lengths on the horse back in second. From barrier nine, look for Thomas Stockdale to have this bloke settled up on speed throughout. With race fitness on his side and a genuine tempo expected, Mr French should be bounding along out in front and proving too hard to run down in the second leg of the quaddie.
Best Bet
Race 6 – 
#8 Mr French (9)
4yo Gelding | T: Archie Alexander | J: Thomas Stockdale (59kg)
Next Best: Silver Up
We do not need to wait too long for one of our better bets on the program, as the Grahame Begg-trained Silver Up lines up in the opener. The three-year-old gelding has been unlucky at his past two starts when being forced to cover ground throughout and punching the breeze, but from barrier two on Thursday he gets his chance to gain an economical run in transit. He was beaten a lip at Sale two runs back; and when travelling four wide with no cover last time out at Pakenham, this son of Caravaggio did well to be beaten a tick over two lengths. The in-form Blake Shinn hops on board and will be given every chance throughout this maiden event. Armed with a strong turn of foot, we expect to see Silver Up claim gold in the opener.
Next Best
Race 1 – 
#6 Silver Up (2)
3yo Gelding | T: Grahame Begg | J: Blake Shinn (58kg)
Best Value: Love School
The Lee Hope-trained Love School arguably should have broken her maiden at Seymour last time out but gets her chance to do so at career start number eight on Thursday. The All Americain mare was held up from the home turn until the final 100m, where she jumped out of the ground late to be beaten under a length. With a clear run in transit, she simply wins that event. From barrier 12 on Thursday, we expect it will be beneficial for those drawn out wide to run on, and if she repeats the effort she put in at Seymour, the $16 on offer with online betting sites looks a treat.
Best Value
Race 2 – 
#7 Love School (12)
4yo Mare | T: Lee Hope | J: Beau Mertens (58kg)
