Bendigo Race 7 - Avard Civil (1-2 Wins)(300+ Rank)

ARCHER SWEET (1) was always prominent from this same draw last time and boxed on well to place (34.80) in a Bottom Up - Restricted Win over 600m at The Meadows. Worth following up. JULEA RUSLIE (4) had been in super honest form hitting the frame two times on end before finishing seventh (37.99) at Shepparton last time. Has ability and is one of the better chances. MATCHBOX CYCLONE (2) was strongly fancied last time over 400m at Geelong but crowded for room and fell. Has the ability and can atone with the right run. DOONGALLA I AM (6) is a last-start placegetter when at the top of betting - in the mix again.

Has struggled to jump cleanly in recent outings and the results have been disappointing, the most recent effort a sixth over 450m at Shepparton. Has failed to show enough to come into contention.

Latest effort finished 7th over 650m at Shepparton beaten 10 lengths (37.99) behind Midnight Phantom in a Restricted WIN on April 13. Below best last time but looks well placed here. Deserves another chance.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 425m in 24.51. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fourth over 450m at Shepparton at T3 RSTW level. Not suited by wide draw, prepared to risk.
