Best bets and value play for Bendigo Cup Day races

A smart sprinter from the Mathew Ellerton camp is a great chance to post a first-up win while a $12 chance can overcome a luckless first-up run at Wednesday’s Bendigo Cup meeting.

News Corp form analyst Brad Waters looks at Wednesday’s Bendigo meeting.

BEST BET

Treat Him Right won well on debut before bumping into a smart one at Ballarat second-up. Expecting him to bounce back at Bendigo.

ANILLA (Race 8 No.2 – $5)

Anilla is a speedy type that races well over the 1100m. His trials have been good, and he can show up fresh.
