Bendigo Race 5 - Avard Civil (1-2 Wins) (300+)
JULEA RUSLIE (5) produced a moderate run last time when seventh at this track over 500m behind Lightheartedness (29.13) in a Rank Limit - Restricted Win. Comes through a solid form race last start. Has claims if she runs up to expectations. AUNTY FAYE (2) has shown good improvement at her last two starts, most recently finishing 2nd at Shepparton over 450m. Well-placed to take this out. TIGER ROCKS (1) was responsible for a modest effort most recently when sixth at Sandown over 515m behind Mepunga Velvet (30.61) in a Mix 6/7. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings six times from nine attempts. Worth another chance. BAKALI SURPRISE (8) is a last-start placegetter who will have admirers.
