It’s a big Saturday of racing with feature meetings at Bendigo in Victoria and Hawkesbury in New South Wales on Saturday, 2 May 2026. With quality fields assembled across both cards, there’s a great mix of proven performers and well-placed runners ready to take advantage of ideal conditions.

We’ve identified a handful of horses across the meetings that look particularly well suited based on recent form, weight swings and race setups. From runners dropping sharply in the weights at Bendigo to well-drawn chances at Hawkesbury that map to get every opportunity, these are the ones worth keeping a close eye on this weekend.
