Bendigo Race 6

Avard Civil

Prize Money: $3,340

VINTAGE KING (2) produced a modest effort most recently when sixth at Shepparton over 650m behind Midnight Phantom (37.86) in a Special conditions race. Tough to beat if on-song. GO FLASH GO (1) turned spotting a big start finishing fourth (28.56) last time in a Grade 4/5 at this track. Has a good record at this journey. Has performed well from this box with a win and five minor placings to his name from nine starts. Better than last start and can bounce back. WHITE SHIRAZ (8) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing sixth (29.00) last time in a Bottom Up - Grade 5 at this track. The form out of last race has been strong. Must be included in calculations. WEARING LEVIS (4) scored with plenty to spare last time. Big chance on that form.

Was out of placings last time (28.56) at this track in a Grade 4/5, finishing fourth and beaten 5 lengths. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and five minors. Looks suited here and rates a leading chance.

Hit the frame at Shepparton last time when a 3.5 lengths third but did record a brilliant 22.11 for the 390m trip. Place prospects appear best again.

Got back last start and could only manage seventh but before that won by 2 lengths at Ballarat (25.38) beating She's Saintly in a Grade 5 on June 24. Others have better credentials.

Has finished sixth at this circuit at the last two appearances, most recently when beaten 5.5 lengths behind Zipping Tyra over 500m. Comes out of a hot form race. Worth following up.
