Bendigo Race 8 - Avard Civil

SALT SPECKLE (2) is a talented type and proved too strong last time to win by 1.5 lengths at this track in a handy 28.53 beating Edinburgh Bale. Sure to prove hard to beat. HIGH COTTON (1) charged out of the boxes with a slick early split and went straight to the front, giving a huge sight but headed late when a 1.75 lengths third (28.65) over 500m at this track. Expected to feature again. HATARI (3) could manage only third at Sandown last time but caught the eye when clocking a handy 24.01 over 425m at this track the start prior. Expected to feature on best figures. MONTANA ICON (6) missed the placings here last start but is well-placed to turn the form around.
