Avard Civil (325+ Rank)

Prize Money: $1,740

BOGAN BEND (6) has struggled for best form recently, last time finishing 8th (26.31) in a Rank Limit - Grade 5 at Shepparton. Has a strong winning record here at this journey including four wins. Comes through a solid form race last start. Ready to return to form. KUNAMA NAMADGI (7) has missed the frame at her last two but did run well three back when second (26.17) in a Grade 5 at Shepparton. Can turn it around this time. CHARGE ON (1) turned spotting a big start finishing fourth (26.94) last time in a Grade 5 at Warragul. Has performed well from this box with a win and four minor placings to his name from 10 starts. Leading chance. ANGELANI (8) is in the mix despite finishing out of the placings here last start.

Didn't make the placings last time at Warragul (26.94) in a Grade 5, finishing a 9 length fourth. Has performed well off the draw with a win and four places from 10 starts. Looks a key chance on best form.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fifth last time out over 500m at this track. Can't recommend him in this.

Missed the frame latest (29.31) when seventh over 500m at this track in a Bottom Up - Grade 5. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and three minors. Others rate better this time.

Has failed to fire at the last couple but she has solid credentials over this track and distance. Has performed below expectations at her last couple but is capable of far better.

Latest effort finished last over 300m at Healesville beaten 4.5 lengths (17.21) behind In The Clouds in a Grade 5 on June 19. Happy to overlook recent performances. Well placed and gets chance to find best.
