Bendigo Race 11 - Avard Civil
BLACK NEVERA (1) was in the money last time at Geelong (22.53) in a Grade 5, finishing a neck second. Has already won out of this draw. Expected to be in the finish. ASTON YAMATO (3) finished well back at Geelong last time when a 5 length fifth (26.41) but recorded second best time of the card when winning five back. Returns to a course where he has performed well. Has ability and is one of the better chances. BORDER BEAST (8) should get a clear run from the wide draw. Safely held last start when a 7 length 7th at this track (24.30). Has a strong winning record here at this journey including two wins. Expected to feature in the finish. HERE COMES BILLY (5) was well fancied in betting last start but could only manage 4.5 lengths away in third (20.35). Solid formlines coming through his last run.

Racing well without winning, recording three minors on end, the latest hitting the ground running with a scorching early sectional but finishing in the minors again at Geelong, clocking 22.53. Should prove hard to beat.

Missed the frame last time but the start prior clocked a slick 22.61 over 400m finishing second at Geelong. Harder here and looks a place chance only.

Turned in a good run last time, placing (20.35) at Traralgon in a Grade 5 H. Lines up from box 5 for the first time. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts.

Was out of the placings last time at this track but prior to that had been racing consistently, notching four minors in a row. Tough draw to overcome and looks safely held.

Did a good job two starts back at Ballarat to win by 2 lengths in 22.41, beating Aston Flamenco. Last start finished 5th on May 15 over 400m at Geelong behind Paw Xabia beaten 12 lengths (23.20) in a Grade 5. Look for improvement. Not out of it.
