Mandurang Cricket Ground is the venue this Sunday for the eleventh race of the Bendigo Athletic Club cross-country season, the Rising Sun Hotel 6500 metres Handicap.
Last week’s second-placegetter Kane Ellis is the hot favourite but Chook Stewart and Ingrid Douglass are expected to be breathing down his neck when the finish comes in sight. Those three won’t have it all their own way either, with in-form runners Reza Azimi, Kevin Shanahan and Gab Sait also planning to spring a surprise.
