Avard Civil (1-4 Wins) Damsels Dash

Prize Money: $3,340

NANCY DEVERE (8) ran below her best last time finishing sixth (30.67) over 525m at The Meadows in a Grade 5. Tough to beat if on-song. MICHIGAN GIRL (2) finished second (37.40) two back at Shepparton but out of the placings last time when 8th there. Likely to be about the mark. LUNA'S GIRL (1) started big odds but ran one of the quickest times of the card with a 1.75 lengths win (25.59) at Ballarat latest. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in her latest win. Bold showing expected again. ASTON AMISHA (5) is another with top-three prospects.

Could manage only eighth last time but caught the eye the start prior when she clocked a slick 37.40 over 650m finishing second at Shepparton. Has the ability and expected to go close again.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 4.5 lengths in 28.42, beating Mcivor Olly. Last start finished 5th on January 6 over 450m at Shepparton behind Russian Raccoon beaten 6 lengths (25.58) in a Grade 5. Leading chance on best form.

Jumped safely when finishing fifth over 450m at Shepparton. Won an easier race the start before that at Mt Gambier. Can't make much of a case this time.
