Avard Civil (1-2 Wins) (300+Rank)

Prize Money: $1,530

RIPPER RUFUS (1) filled a minor placing last start at this track behind Aston Abrafo (25.14) in a T3 RSTW. Stalked the pace but found the line strongly. Expected to feature in the finish again. KNIFE EDGE (8) has shown good improvement at his last two starts, finishing in the money last time when 2nd at this track over 425m. Leading player again. PAW QUADE (7) was big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, weakening late to finish a 1.75 lengths fourth (23.21) over 400m at Warragul. One of the better chances. LEMONADE LASS (3) won last start after racing on the pace. Must be respected.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 3.5 lengths over 390m at Shepparton in a handy 22.65, beating Scott Matrix. Has hit winning form and is worth thought again.
