Bendigo Race 10

Avard Civil

Stake: $3,159

LETHAL AVENGER (8) is worth forgiving last start after finishing seventh (24.49) from Box 7 at this track over 425m. Some good form is emerging from his last run. Rates on top in this line up. MEMPHIS RAINS (7) was safely held last time out, finishing fifth at Geelong over 460m behind Paw Kramer (26.50) in a Grade 5. Was in the money prior to that. Shapes as one to consider. SOFIA RIOT (6) was game in defeat at the latest run, finishing third and beaten 2 lengths (22.22) behind Peaches at Shepparton. The form from her last run stacks up well. Leading player again. GREMLIN (3) placed last time out so worth considering.

Good effort to win last start by 2 lengths over 400m at Geelong in a handy (22.61), beating Nimble Benny. Must be a winning chance again.

Was edged out last time at Horsham when beaten just a long neck but did clock an exceptional 23.12 over the 410m journey. Place prospects appear best again.

Ran a better race when third behind Ripper Riley at this track last start over 425m (24.23). Gets back so might need a bit of luck.

Form has been solid with minor placings at her last six starts. Last time out finished 3rd on May 2 over 425m at this track behind Play Lab beaten 10 lengths (24.69) in a Grade 5. Hard to tip with any confidence.

Latest effort finished 7th on April 4 over 425m at this track behind Lulu's Ride beaten 4.5 lengths (24.49) in a Mix 3/4. Below best last time but looks well placed here. Deserves another chance.

Surprised two starts back at The Meadows to win by a neck in 30.37, beating Pretty Hot. Last start finished last in a Restricted WIN on April 16 over 450m at Ballarat behind July She Lied beaten 10 lengths (25.85). Prepared to risk this time.
