Bendigo Race 9 - Avard Civil

ARGYLE AXLE (4) stuck on well last time to finish half a length back in second (26.16) at Shepparton in a Grade 5 over 450m. Likely to feature again. HIGH COTTON (1) scored two back then drifted back and missed the frame latest finishing a 3 length 6th at Shepparton (26.33). Must be included in calculations. BLUER THAN BLUE (6) was an on speed winner in quick time two back then gave a start but got home into the frame when second at Warrnambool (25.90) last time. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Can measure up. BUN QUAKE (2) can measure up with the right run.

Hit the ground running with a fast early sectional but found one better when runner up over 450m at Shepparton clocking 26.16. Boxed on well to finish runner-up last time. Leading player.

Last start finished eighth over 350m at Healesville, beaten 10 lengths (19.80) behind Panther's Way in a Grade 5 on February 8. This looks too tough.
