Bendigo Racing Tips for Thursday, July 30th 2026

Ended

We have expert betting tips for racing at Bendigo on Thursday, which includes eight races at the quality meeting.

Punters get good value odds for the Victorian meeting, and we have betting tips for every race on the card.

Race 1. (13:00) Grogans Machinery Maiden (1300m)

#3 - Lollie's Galore @ $4.60

BET NOW

Lollie’s Galore wasn’t far away last preparation when running fifth on debut at Sandown before placing at Kyneton.

The three-year-old son of The Autumn Sun looked good when placing in a recent trial at Pakenham, which is a good sign.

Money has come for him, which adds to his appeal.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 2. (13:30) McDonald Electrical Maiden (1100m)

#7 - Shapenapit @ $2.20

BET NOW

Shapenapit should have won last preparation, but she went close with three placings from four starts.

The Graeme Begg-trained filly ran second at Mornington two starts back before running third at Pakenham behind some nice types.

Barrier two with Jordan Childs riding helps, so take the shortening odds.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 3. (14:00) Workforce Extensions Maiden (1000m)

#10 - Captivating Moon @ $10.00

BET NOW

Punters get double-figure odds for Captivating Moon, who showed enough speed to win a jumpout at Cranbourne.

The two-year-old filly by Captivant will need some luck from a wide barrier, but she showed enough early speed to suggest that she could cross the field.

Her odds have drifted from $6.50, but we’re not concerned.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 4. (14:30) Sheahan Plumbing Maiden (1400m)

#1 - Kandinsky @ $3.00

BET NOW

Punters got burned by Kandinsky last time out at Geelong, but the heavy track didn’t help his chances.

The three-year-old son of Time Test is close to breaking through after posting two placings from four starts, and this race is there for the taking.

$3 is a fair price considering his $1.95 quote last start.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 5. (15:00) Cathcart Smash Repairs BM62 (1400m)

#9 - Our Justify @ $3.10

BET NOW

Looking to cap off three consecutive placings is Our Justify, who is likely to shorten in betting markets on race day.

The three-year-old filly by Justify ran second at Mornington before placing at Caulfield, which is an excellent form guide for this race.

A wide draw doesn’t make it easy, but Craig Newitt riding is a bonus.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 6. (15:30) Ladbrokes Popular SRM BM62 (1000m)

#2 - Scoobartie @ $2.90

BET NOW

Seeking three consecutive wins is Scoobartie, who won at Bendigo and Seymour in fine style.

The three-year-old son of Flying Artie has two wins and five placings from eight starts, so he has been consistent throughout his career.

Look for him to settle handy to the speed and kick strongly.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 7. (16:00) Clubarham C1 (1300m)

#7 - Ocean Bay @ $7.00

BET NOW

Ocean Bay could make a winning fresh up effort, and although her recent form is only fair, she’s better than that.

The three-year-old filly by Vanbrugh won on debut in New Zealand, and we’re prepared to look past her recent efforts at Pakenham.

The inside draw is ideal, so take the each-way odds.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 8. (16:30) Avis Bendigo BM66 (1600m)

#5 - Placentia Bay @ $6.50

BET NOW

Looking to keep his consistent form going is Placentia Bay, who owns a win and four placings from just six starts.

The five-year-old son of Churchill wasn’t far away at Moonee Valley last start, and that should be a tidy form guide for this level of racing.

Barrier two is ideal, and the odds are worth snapping up.

Stake: 1 Unit
