Bendigo Race 9 - Gray's Bendigo

HIGH COTTON (4) finds it hard to win but has a consistent overall record, having placed 27 of 41 career runs. Finished in the minors last time when second (24.48) at this track making it back to back placings. Goes well out of this box with a win and four minor placings. Well placed and gets his chance. COPPERHEAD DASH (1) doesn't win out of turn. Finished in the minors latest when second (25.99) at Shepparton and may be close to breaking through. Expected to be in the finish again. LITTLE TIC (2) doesn't have the best strike-rate. Finished in the minors latest when second (25.02) at this track and may be close to breaking through. Strong form has emerged from her last run. Leading player again. SHIMA SUNSET (7) should be thereabouts.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but had to contend with second when clocking 22.57 over 390m at Shepparton. Rates among the chances this time.

Did a good job two starts back at Ballarat to win by one length in 25.70, beating Aston Surprise. Last start finished last over 425m at this track beaten 11 lengths (24.94) behind Tropic Sands in a Grade 7 on April 2. Not keen, needs to lift.
