Wednesday night best bets & punting strategy at Bendigo (05/02)

Bronte Nieuwenburg has outlined her selections and suggested game plan for Wednesday's meeting at Lord's Raceway, Bendigo.

See her best below, courtesy of Harness Racing Victoria.

R1 – 6.48pm – Haeuslers Echuca Pace – 1650m

2 - Repelling
9 - Letsrockletsroll
11 - Yambukian
4 - New Yorker

R2 – 7.13pm – Garrards Horse & Hound 4yo & Older Maiden Pace – 1650m

2 - Happenstbabeachboy
3 - Fulloffight
8 - Villarock
9 - Queen Bessie

Happenstbabeachboy looks like he has a lot of talent, but he’s still learning what racing is all about. From barrier two, over the short trip here, he should be able to settle into a forward position. This looks like a great race for him to break through with his maiden victory.

BACK: 2 Happenstbabeachboy – 3 Units (win)

R3 – 7.40pm – Impact-A Fasteners & Construction Supplies Mares Pace – 1650m

9 - Final Bow
10 - Kimcando
11 - Martha Lavinia
12 - Guaranteed Secret

Final Bow can be a bit hit-and-miss, but when she's on song, she's hard to beat. Barrier nine suits her here, as she’ll be following a high-gate-speed mare (Amber Alert) and should end up in a forward position in the large field over the short trip. This looks like a great opportunity for her to get back into the winner’s circle.

BACK: 9 Final Bow – 2 Units (win)

R4 – 8.11pm – Apco Service Stations Strathdale & Kangaroo Flat Pace – 2150m

3 - Our Mystery Bet
4 - Tophut Johny
9 - Shaq
6 - Sir Vincent

Our Mystery Bet has the second-best recent sectional times in this event (the first being Shaq). His last four starts have been good, but each run has been different in terms of his position and pattern, which shows he’s versatile. He should get some luck here from barrier three.

BACK: 3 Our Mystery Bet – 3 Units (win)

R5 – 8.41pm – The Douglas Deck Pace – 2150m

4 - Steel Ruler
8 - Twisting By
5 - Herakles
7 - Cheerstolou

Steel Ruler is second-up here and should have improved from his first-up performance. His sectional times last preparation were fantastic, and if he’s getting closer to his best, he’s a great chance here.

BACK: 2 Steel Ruler – 2 Units (win)

R6 – 9.11pm – Aldebaran Park Trot – 2150m

5 - Majestic Ga Ga
4 - Tedesco
2 - Black And Gold
3 - Stick With Me
