Bendigo Race 8

Avard Civil

Stake: $4,185

PAW SUMMER (1) turned in a better effort at The Meadows last start, finishing third behind Tick Returns (30.75) in a Mix 3/4. Has the pace to be prominent. Sure to be about the mark. VILMA BALE (3) latest effort finished 4th on July 12 over 525m at The Meadows behind Slick Splits beaten 6 lengths (30.26) in a Free For All. Can feature in the finish. MAGICAL STAR (2) was below best last time when fourth but prior to that was a Grade 5 winner in quick time at this track. Has the ability and can find best this time. PAW LEON (5) comes into calculations after placing most recently.

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but had to settle for a minor placing when a 0.7 lengths third over 525m at The Meadows, clocking 30.75. Should prove hard to beat.

Comments

Struggling to break through but racing consistently, finishing in the minors three starts on end. Last time out flew the lids with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when third (26.56) at Warragul over 460m. Thereabouts and rates well in this. Expected to run well.

Started big odds last time but hit the ground running with a slick early split, giving a sight but fading out of it to finish fourth (25.93) at Geelong over 460m. Has claims on best form.
