Race preview

Welcome to Bendigo for the Prestige Event Hire benchmark 70 over the 1600m journey on a fine afternoon with a good 4 track awaiting punters. The win market is currently headed by Jenni You Think, with Cushioned, Kiwi Jenni, and The Muffin Man next in line in a competitive middle-distance affair where tactics will play a major hand. Let us dive into the yarn behind this race and see how the form stacks up for the punters looking to land a winner on the quick back-up of local action.

At the head of the market, Jenni You Think represents the stable of C Maher and comes in following a solid minor placing at Ballarat over this exact 1600m trip, showing a liking for the distance after running on well. Another prominent contender near the top of the betting is Cushioned from the A & S Freedman stable, who finished within striking distance at Cranbourne over the mile last time out and gets in with a nice weight here. Meanwhile, Kiwi Jenni brings another C Maher form line to the table, having made a late rally from the back at Geelong over 1765m after a strong placing at Caulfield Heath.

Further down the win market order, The Muffin Man catches the eye for trainer M J Enright, coming off a narrow-margin second in a 3up bm66 handicap at Ballarat over 1600m where he clocked the fastest overall finishing sectionals. With speed maps showing a distinct spread across the field from leaders like Itsukushima down to backmarkers such as Jackknife and Kiwi Jenni, the race sets up nicely for those with a turn of foot. It shapes as an intriguing puzzle where form lines converge and the punters can weigh up several genuine chances.

AAP

Import returning for second Australian campaign (23-weeks). Last campaign was safely held against better opposition. Untested in wet. Others rate stronger.

ILB

Fresh today after a break. Folded up in the straight when 10th last run at Flemington but competing at a lower class. Possesses very good closing speed. Not at all out of this race.

Finished last of ten over 1m1f at Flemington (handicap) in May; returns from an absence here; others are preferred.

RSIS

Fresh after a break. Weakened to finish 10th last start at Flemington but challenged by weaker competitors. Will be trying to topple them late. Drawn nicely. Can't leave out of your calculations.

Never a threat after showing no early speed from the barriers at Seymour off long break. Hard to make a case.

ILB

Odds of $101.00 and was nothing special when 9th last start at Seymour but matched against less formidable competition. Brittany Button provides some weight relief. Sharp improvement needed.

Ninth of 13 beaten 6l over 7f at Seymour (handicap) two weeks ago when just behind Highly Intrigued; career wins-runs record of 6-28; has a reasonable shout.

RSIS

Started at 100/1 and only fair when 9th last time at Seymour but up against weaker rivals. The large claim from Brittany Button should help.

AAP

Toughed it out on the pace at Cranbourne over today's trip at $13. On pacer. Claiming apprentice engaged again. Warrants attention.

ILB

Bold effort when winning last start at Cranbourne and displaying improvement over the past few runs. Has the speed to overcome the wide draw. This won't be easy.

Won a handicap by 1l (Cranbourne) two weeks ago; suited by this C&D; others more likely despite the last time out success.

RSIS

Rounded them up to win last start at Cranbourne and demonstrating upward trajectory in recent races. Has the early pace to burn across from the wide stall.

AAP

Prominent to 400m but threw the towel in quickly at Hamilton over this distance. Can lead or take a sit. Handles the wet. Could get into the placings.

ILB

Was $5.50 and faded away to finish 12th last run at Hamilton but has drawn the rails. Sarah Field takes the reins today. The large claim from Sarah Field helps. Watch betting.

Towards the rear of 13 (Hamilton) two weeks ago; career wins-runs record of 7-33; strong claims.

RSIS

Was 9/2 and couldn't maintain the pace when 12th last start at Hamilton but has a nice advantage with a good stall. Sarah Field is a plus. Betting is the best guide.

Battled home okay at Caulfield. Distant place hope only.

ILB

Finished 7th last start at Caulfield but matched against lesser competition.

Largely disappointing since successful in a handicap at Sandown four months ago; finished seventh but wasn't beaten too far (3½l) over 7f at Caulfield (handicap) two weeks ago; a few rivals look in good form so not easy to fancy.

RSIS

Came in 7th last time at Caulfield but dropping in class.

AAP

Failed to threaten (wide barrier) at Horsham off extended spell following market easing. Strips fitter. Untried in wet going. Right in the mix.

ILB

Jumped at $16.00 and just average when 11th last time at Horsham. Beau Mertens is a bonus. Possible place chance.

Finished 11th of 12 over 7f at Horsham (handicap) ten days ago; competitive shout as he knows how to get the job done.

RSIS

Odds of 15/1 and well beaten when 11th last time at Horsham. Beau Mertens rates highly.

Having a good preparation. Wore them down late at Cranbourne over this journey. Claiming apprentice engaged again. Highly rated in this line-up.

ILB

Flew home to win last time at Cranbourne. Won last 2 on the trot. Nadia Daniels and Will Ben & Jd Hayes are a strong duo.

Narrow scorer in a handicap (Cranbourne) three weeks ago; going for a hat-trick and has managed four wins from 13 career runs; looks likely to go well.

RSIS

Rocketed home when winning last start at Cranbourne. Made it 2 wins on the trot.

AAP

Made late rally from the back at Seymour. Has a tricky draw. Goes into wider exotics.

ILB

Started at $71.00 and came in 7th last time at Seymour but will appreciate the drop in class. Should be rolling forward early from the wide draw. A difficult test here.

Not disgraced when seventh of 13 over 7f at Seymour (handicap) two weeks ago; resume shows that she is a proven winner (seeking a fifth career win); this is competitive and has some questions to answer.

RSIS

Started 70/1 and finished 7th last run at Seymour but competing in an easier class. Should be rolling forward early from the wide stall.

Narrow miss in the 3yo+ (Bm66) at Ballarat 9 Oct. Warrants attention.

ILB

Right in the mix last start at Ballarat and demonstrating upward trajectory in recent races. Has a good chance.

Good effort when close up (Ballarat) 19 days ago upped to this trip; only once has he got into the winners' enclosure; passed over as not in the habit of winning recently.

RSIS

Close up last time at Ballarat and showing improvement in recent outings. Should be in the finish.

AAP

Midfield, picked up solidly at Ballarat. Soft proven, heavy unknown. Can fill the minors here.

ILB

Jumped at $13.00 and came in 5th last time at Ballarat but gets some weight taken off. Others are more appealing.

Far from disgraced (beaten 1½l) over 7f at Ballarat (handicap) 19 days ago; this looks a decent race so others more persuasive.

RSIS

Started 12/1 and ran 5th last start at Ballarat but will appreciate the drop in weight.

AAP

Finished within striking distance 3yo+ (Bm62) at Cranbourne second-up. Nicely weighted. Soft tick, heavy query. All the better, has some claims.

ILB

At $4.60 improved when 4th last start at Cranbourne and suited by the weight drop. Finishes off strongly. Serious contender.

A few throw outs since her success in a maiden at Pakenham in April; solid run when fourth upped to this distance (Cranbourne) three weeks ago; Craig Williams booked; not hard to turn elsewhere with a number of her rivals in good nick.

RSIS

Odds of 7/2 and improved when 4th last time at Cranbourne and suited by the weight drop. Has a nice turn of foot. Must be considered here.

4 weeks since last run. Winner too strong but ran on for the minors at Ballarat over this distance. Good second only time this t/d. Not out of this.

ILB

Did well to run 3rd last time at Ballarat. Running with confidence this campaign. Will be trying to topple them late. Expecting a solid performance.

Producing solid form figures; third in Ballarat handicap, just over 5l off winner 28 days ago.

RSIS

Strong effort to run into 3rd beaten by 5 1/4L last start at Ballarat. In good form since returning from a break. Displays very good finishing pace. Expecting a strong showing.

AAP

Made late rally from the back at Geelong. Usually gets back. Only win to date was this distance. Can fill the minors here.

ILB

Started at $6.00 and made some ground when 4th last time at Geelong. Interesting gear change of blinkers off first time. Has a nice turn of foot. Has some claims.

Has maintained her consistent level of form; solid effort over 1m1f at Geelong (handicap) three weeks ago; facing a testing assignment and others appeal more.

RSIS

Started 5/1 and outpaced some runners late when 4th last time at Geelong. Interesting to see the blinkers go off for the first time. Expected to be flashing home. Respect the betting.

Freshened. Sent out $9.50 when unable to threaten this venue over this journey. One for multiples.

ILB

Started at $9.50 and faded to finish 8th last run around here. Others much better.

Came home eighth, beaten 6l, last month; lightly raced; track has proven suitable before; this line-up contains some strong opposition so has some questions to answer.

RSIS

At 17/2 tailed off to finish 8th last start at this track.

Odds correct as at Wed 28 Oct, 3:10 pm AEDT. Odds can change.
