Bendigo Race 7

Avard Civil (1-2 Wins)

Stake: $1,914

KENNETH BALE (8) turned in a better run last time to find a minor placing (24.47) at this track behind Jackpot Cash in a Grade 6. Stalked the pace but found the line strongly. Makes plenty of appeal. WHIPPING ALONG (1) is going well, finishing in the placings twice in a row. Not beaten far last time when a half a length second (19.66) in a Mix 6/7 at Healesville. Expected to do much better this time. MONTANA ICON (5) clocked a new course and distance PB last time, finishing a 4 length third behind Sir Billy Boy in 28.68. Bold showing expected again. LIZARD COUNTRY (2) can fill a top-three spot.

Has been in the minors the last two, the latest showing strong pace early but gathered in and finished a half a length second over 350m Healesville in 19.66. Key chance on best form.

Has finished fifth at the last two runs, both at Shepparton, the latest when beaten 11 lengths behind Reconstruction over 450m. Capable of taking this out.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fourth last time out over 390m at Shepparton. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.

Missed the frame latest (26.45) when fifth over 450m at Ballarat in a T3 RSTW. Starts from box 4 for the first time here. Has ability but looking elsewhere this time.
