Bendigo Race 6 - Peter Brown Custom Homes

HIGH COTTON (1) turned in a better effort at this track last start, finishing second behind Blazin' Fries (28.67) in a Grade 5. Has the pace to be prominent. One of the contenders. COUNT THE STARS (4) has been out of the placings last two but shapes well for this if he can recapture his handy win a few runs back, getting around this track over 500m in 28.21. Expected to feature on best figures. MONTANA ICON (3) must be included in calculations.
