Bendigo (H) Race 6

Smartloans Bendigo 2Yo Maiden Trot

Prize Money: $6,000

VERBICI (1) is a gelding by Orlando Vici on debut for the Lang/Mahar stable. Looks to have ability based on two recent trial wins and the ace draw gives him the chance to kick off with a win. ALDEBARAN JERICHO (3) is a son of Muscle Mass making his debut for the Darren Pace yard. Draws well and has strong trial form coming into this, winning his latest hitout. CORPORATE AFFAIRS (4) is at the track for the first time. By Bold Eagle and hails from the Ruokonen stable. Trialling well so is likely to attract plenty of interest from punters. ELEGANT SPIRIT (5) broke last start but was runner-up prior so is worth another chance.
