Bendigo Race 12

Avard Civil Veterans (200+ Rank)

Stake: $3,159

BLUE CABANG (2) turned in a better effort at this track last start, finishing third behind Schillaci (24.44) in a Veteran race H. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. One of the contenders. ZAP (1) hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but had to settle for a minor placing when a 0.8 lengths second over 390m at Shepparton, clocking 22.32. Expected to be in this for a long way. SOFIA RIOT (4) should bounce back after an unplaced effort here recently.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but had to contend with second when clocking 22.32 over 390m at Shepparton. Goes very well from this draw including three wins. Leading player.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage sixth last time out over 410m at Horsham. Not going well enough. Needs to lift.

Didn't make the placings last time at Shepparton (22.60) in a Grade 5 H NP, finishing a 5.5 lengths fourth. Has two successes and three minors from eight starts from box 7. Will need the right run.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by one length in 24.57, beating Classic Grey. Last start finished 4th over 425m at this track beaten 14 lengths (24.70) behind Schillaci in a Veteran race H on June 6. Prefer to watch at this stage.
