Bendigo best bets & quaddie tips | November 9, 2022
| What | Bendigo Races |
| Where | Bendigo Jockey Club – Heinz St, White Hills VIC 3550 |
| When | Wednesday, November 9, 2022 |
| First Race | 12:30pm AEDT |
The Bendigo Jockey Club will host a competitive nine-race program on Wednesday as the solitary meeting in Victoria. The track is currently rated a Soft 5, but with warm weather forecasted for central Victoria on Tuesday and Wednesday, we should get into the Good range come race day. The rail will be in the 5m position for the entire circuit, and racing gets underway at 12:30pm AEDT.
Best Bet: He’s Essential
In the opening leg of the quaddie, the Peter Moody-trained He’s Essential looks very hard to beat as he returns from a four-month spell. This three-year-old gelding only has the one career start to his name, winning a maiden over 1000m on the Pakenham synthetic on June 21. This son of I Am Invincible was made to travel three and four wide for the entire trip at Pakenham, but he was ultra-impressive in the concluding stages as he kicked away on the corner and held on to win by just under a length over some fast-finishing backmarkers. Moody has shown a lot of intent in the two jump-outs this guy has had – especially at the most recent, where the jockey used the whip to ensure that this gelding lengthened nicely and won it. These are the types of things we like to see in preparation for a first-up run, so if Luke Nolen gets any luck from barrier seven, we should see this guy continue his unbeaten start to his career.
Best Bet
Race 6 – 
#9 He’s Essential (7)
3yo Gelding | T: Peter Moody | J: Luke Nolen (58kg)
Next Best: Tiz My Bay
We were with the Robbie Griffiths & Matthew de Kock-trained Tiz My Bay at her first-up run at Sale when she went down by the barest of margins in a very tight photo finish with Nickelback over 1400m. On Wednesday this four-year-old mare will find a very winnable race as she steps up to 1600m, and now that she is second-up after a strong resuming run, she should be fit and ready to go. Jumping from barrier six, Jamie Mott will take this daughter of Cable Bay to the back of the field, which is her natural racing pattern, and with even luck this girl should be flying down the outside and breaking her maiden at her 11th career start.
Best Bet
Race 1 – 
#7 Tiz My Bay (6)
4yo Mare | T: Robbie Griffiths & Matthew de Kock | J: Jamie Mott (58kg)
Best Value: Donatrice
In the fifth race of the day, for the stayers over 2400m, the Archie Alexander-trained Donatrice will be looking for her second win of this preparation and third win of her career at start 13. This five-year-old mare was a bit unlucky at her last start as she travelled into the race in the final 600m but didn’t get the cart into it that she was looking for and peaked on her run late to finish fourth. Declan Bates will jump back aboard this daughter of Contributor after missing her last run, and considering he has ridden this girl at four or her last six starts, we should be see a better showing on Wednesday.
Next Best
Race 5 – 
#8 Donatrice (8)
5yo Mare | T: Archie Alexander | J: Declan Bates (58.5kg)
