No. 7 Reservoir at Kangaroo Flat is the venue this Sunday for the eighth race of the Bendigo Athletic Club cross-country season, the Boundary Hotel 3000 metres Handicap.  The hot favourite for the race is local Kangaroo Flat runner John Bailey.

Bailey is in excellent form having finished second in the last two Club races and needs to break through for a win.  John is unlikely to have it all his own way however with plenty of others, led by Brett Gilligan and Kane Ellis, looking to upstage him and grab the win and the accompanying $250.

The senior race will commence at 10:30am and will be preceded by a Children’s Race over 1000 metres at 10am.  In the Kid’s race Ava Stewart will be hoping to hold off Emma Gilligan to notch her first win of the season.
