Bendigo Race 11

Avard Civil

Prize Money: $3,360

RECKLESS (8) jumped favourite and was too quick with an all-the-way win last start (24.01) at this track in a Grade 5 over 425m. Can continue on her winning ways. FRENZY (2) is better than last start when seventh (24.36) in a Grade 5 at this track over 425m. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. One of the main contenders. FLUENT ACTION (4) has a fair record and proved too strong last time to win by 3 lengths at Shepparton in a handy 22.10 beating TWILIGHT SLEUTH. Has a strong record out of this box with three wins and a minor placing from six starts. Expecting another bold showing. MIDNIGHT THUNDER (1) is right in the mix.

Missed the frame last start when a 8 length eighth (19.91) at Healesville. Previous form sound including a win three back at Sale. Capable and may well bounce back this time.

Last start finished 7th over 425m at this track beaten 11 lengths (24.36) behind Dapper Chap in a Grade 5 on March 27. Recorded two placings in a row prior to the latest effort. Worth another chance.

Had been in consistent form with four minors on end before missing the frame last start when fifth (28.23) at this track. Has a low draw but looks safely held.

Good effort to win last start by 3 lengths over 390m at Shepparton in a handy (22.10), beating Twilight Sleuth. Sure to be about the mark.

Snuck into the minor money last time when a 3 length second at this track but did record a hot 23.86 for the 425m trip. Place prospects appear best again.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (24.40) in a Restricted WIN H, finishing a 9 length sixth. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and three minors. Has ability but looking elsewhere this time.
