Bendigo Race 11 - Avard Civil (275+ Rank)
SIMPLY NED (6) was prominent throughout when winning two back then got further back last time but came home hard into third and beaten 2.5 lengths at this track (24.41). Form from his last run is proving to be solid. Capable of going well again. UBIQUITOUS (2) was never in contention last time at Ballarat, but prior to that won easily by 3.5 lengths at Traralgon (19.84) beating Bear Hand in a Grade 5 on August 17. Should be in this for a long way. FINESSE (3) is better than last start when fourth (22.60) from Box 1 at Shepparton over 390m. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. JUST QUICKLY (7) is likely to have admirers.

Backs up after finishing 5th on August 24 over 390m at Shepparton in a Grade 5. Not doing enough to be considered.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but swamped late when a close up sixth (22.56) at Ballarat over 390m. Tipped to improve sharply. Rates highly on best form.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Shepparton over 390m in 22.24. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fourth over 390m at Shepparton at Mix 6/7 level. Has ability and looks a winning hope.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fifth last time out over 450m at Ballarat. Will be tested in this company.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Ballarat over 390m. Last start finished 3rd on August 19 over 425m at this track behind Not Sorry beaten 2.5 lengths (24.41) in a Grade 5. Solid formlines coming through that last run. Looks a major player.

Missed the frame last start when sixth but had been in strong form prior to that, winning two on end before placing two back. Better than last run and looks an each way chance.

Found the going tougher last start when third over 390m at Warrnambool. That followed a win two back in 22.45 beating Bunni Bale over 390m at Warrnambool. No easier here so may struggle.
