Bendigo Race 4 - Avard Civil Damsels Dash

CHEVRON STROLL (6) tends to drift back and work into the race, finishing out of the placings two back before charging home into the minors latest when third (22.57) in a Grade 4/5 at Geelong last time. Top chance in this line up. MISS MAXIMUS (5) found some support last start but struggled into fifth (30.86), beaten 8 lengths. Was in the money the start prior. Shapes as one to consider. FLUENT ACTION (1) hit the ground running off the tricky draw last start and was never headed (22.25) at Ballarat in a Grade 5 over 390m. Has a strong record out of this box with five wins and two minor placings from eight starts. Expected to feature again. GAMORA BALE (2) cannot be left out over a shorter trip.

Eye-catching performance leading throughout to score by one length in a Grade 5 last start at Ballarat, recording a handy 22.25 over the 390m journey. Hard to top on that run.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished last over 525m at The Meadows beaten 8 lengths (30.86) behind Moment in a Grade 5 FIN on September 26. Placed two back at Shepparton. Has been racing well. Well placed here and looks a leading contender.
