Bendigo Race 6

Avard Civil

Prize Money: $1,530

BUNNI BALE (1) filled a minor placing last start at Geelong behind Plutonic (23.34) in a Rank Limit - Grade 5. Chased the leaders and with a clean run can be prominent. Has won two of three starts from this draw. Can go on with it. GOOSEBUMPS RICO (2) turned spotting a big start finishing sixth (26.27) last time in a Grade 5 at Shepparton. Should be about the money. IRISH CARLA (7) missed the frame last time but before that recorded the quickest win (20.16) on the program at Traralgon in a Grade 5. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. IVORY QUILL (8) looks an each-way chance.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage eighth last time out over 450m at Shepparton. Others make more appeal.

Just been plugging away and needs to improve after being unplaced in four tries. Last start 6th over 400m at Geelong. Would be better placed in something easier.
