Bendigo Race 5 - Avard Civil (1-3 Wins)
GEORGIE SUNSHINE (8) was game in defeat at the latest run, finishing second and beaten 1.75 lengths (25.54) behind Hurriedly at Shepparton. Must come into calculations. SAFFRON MONSOON (2) turned spotting a big start finishing fourth (24.48) last time in a Mix 6/7 at this track. Still to record a win from this draw but has never missed the frame in two starts. Worth following up. HARD LAUNCH (6) turned in a plain run last time when seventh at Sandown over 515m behind Pleasant Dreams (30.48) in a Restricted WIN. Was in the money prior to that. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Key runner who gets his chance to atone. SCOTT ALIFEROUS (4) was in the money last start and poses a threat again.

Finished second last start (28.77) over 500m at this track. Drops down the inside box this time. Cannot be ruled out.

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but had to settle for a minor placing when a 1.2 lengths third over 500m at this track, clocking 28.42. Better than the last couple of runs suggest. Expected to feature.
