Big contests continue to catch the eye at Bendigo, with some fantastic horses in action and Sunday racing is awash with gambling opportunities for punters.

Such quality in the card can be tricky for some punters to break down and OnlyRacing remain the number one resource for all Australian gamblers chasing returns.

Savagery Vibe - Race 1 - Bendigo

The opener at Bendigo is a fascinating maiden plate and Savagery Vibe is certainly the horse to catch at the very top of the market.

This is a debut, so reputation will be the thing that most punters and bookmakers will be going off but it is a horse that comes from terrific stock and it has been installed as the hot favourite for a reason.

Pia Mia - Race 6 - Bendigo

The action continues at Bendigo, with some super horses lining up in race 6 and Pia Mia is our roughie of the day - on a very busy card.

Having been out of action for almost half a year and now being under the stewardship of Ciaron Maher, Pia Mia is certainly an intriguing prospect here.

Competition from Loved Up Lawyer and Rocket Tiger will be fierce but Pia Mia could be worth a go in this one.
