Bendigo Race 9 - Avard Civil
EARLY CROW EVANS (7) charged out of the boxes with a fast early split and led throughout to score when a 2.25 lengths winner (22.10) over 390m at Shepparton. Ideally placed to take this out. PAW NATULLO (1) comes off an average effort last start when fifth at this track over 425m behind Paw Gertrude (24.18) in a Grade 5. Was in the money the start prior. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings two times from three starts. Has ability and can atone. ZIPPING KORDA (2) is having her first start around this track. In the money last start when second (22.17) at Shepparton over 390m. The form out of her last race has been franked. Must be included in calculations. SUGARCANE (3) missed the placings here most recently but can sneak into the finish with the right run.

Was out of placings last time (24.18) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing fifth and beaten 7 lengths. Goes very well from the draw boasting two places from three starts. Looks hard to beat with even luck.

Found the going tougher last start when second over 400m at Warragul. That followed a win two back in 22.85 beating Essendon Flyer over 400m at Warragul. Not up to this.
