Bendigo Race 8 - Peter Brown Custom Homes

ATHENS AURA (1) goes very well this course and distance starting 11 times for four wins and two minors. Recorded a 1.3 lengths win (28.74) in a Grade 5 last time at this track. Looks suited and should go close. ELEVATE (7) finds it hard to break through. Finished in the minors last time when second (25.91) at Ballarat making it back to back placings. Nicely placed to grab a well-deserved win. HIGH COTTON (3) jumped from the inside and boxed on well to finish third last time, beaten 1.3 lengths (28.63) behind Bun Quake at this track. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Leading chance. WHITE SHIRAZ (2) will be hard to beat with a drop in journey.
