Bendigo Jockey Club is scheduled to host an eight-race program on Sunday afternoon, headlined by the Listed Seymour Cup (1600m). With plenty of rain in the region throughout the week, the track has come up a Heavy 9, but with a near-perfect day forecast on Sunday, an upgrade early on the program would not surprise. The day of racing gets underway at 1pm AEST.
Seymour Cup Top Tip – Noname Lane
We were with the Will Clarken-trained Noname Lane when he won the Listed Balaklava Cup on September 14, and we anticipate he will go on with the job here on Sunday. Having sat outside the lead throughout the 1600m event, the Shamus Award gelding took over inside the final furlong and kept kicking to suggest a race like the Seymour Cup is well within his grasp. From barrier 12 under the urgings of Linda Meech, we expect to see Noname Lane in a prominent position once more, and in a race where he looks like he will gain an uncontested lead throughout, we expect he will continue on his winning ways. He has won four of his last five starts and boasts a wet track record of 13: 8-2-0, so we know he will handle the conditions. Online betting sites are betting up to $6.50 for this guy to win, and that looks a perfect price to load into.

Best Bet at Bendigo – Mister Me
The Symon Wilde-trained Mister Me was impressive when leading throughout to claim victory at the Bendigo 1300m on September 21, and we expect he will make it consecutive wins at the track as he steps out in the final event. The way he won on that day suggests he will only get better as he steps out in trip this campaign, and despite this being his first go at the mile, he looks the one they will have to gun down. He goes up 2kg off that last-start win, but considering he remains in BM64 company, this looks to be no harder than the field he disposed of last time out. From the widest barrier, John Allen should have Mister Me settled outside expected race leader Black Ivory throughout, and when asked for an effort, we expect Mister Me to leave his rivals behind in a couple of strides.

Next Best at Bendigo – Dartboard
Having finished second on debut at Geelong on September 15, Goldophin’s Dartboard comes to the Bendigo 1500m and looks one of the better bets of the day. The three-year-old gelding was defeated by a length on debut, which was even better than it reads on paper given he was forced to run on in the inferior going. The step up to 1500m from the 1225m looks to be ideal for this bloke, who looks like he will appreciate getting out further in trip as his career goes on. Damien Oliver sticks on board, and if he can have this three-year-old lobbed midfield with cover, he will be a real threat in the home straight. He handled a Heavy 8 track at Geelong and with similar conditions expected on Sunday, we expect Dartboard to get us off to a winning start at Bendigo.

Best Value at Bendigo – Barmah Al
The Daryl Archard-trained Barmah Al returns to Bendigo looking to build on a run of form in which he has finished no worse than fourth at his last three starts. The seven-year-old gelding has a strong affiliation with the track at Bendigo, winning twice and placing on two further occasions from five starts. He relishes rain-affected going, with five of his six career wins coming on wet ground, and considering he will be up on speed throughout this 2400m event, he will take some gunning down. With a majority of the key market fancies wanting to settle in the second half of the field, we are hoping this guy’s tactical advantage on those runners will prove to be beneficial.
