Bendigo Race 8

Peter Brown Custom Homes (300+ Rank)

Prize Money: $1,740

WHITE SHIRAZ (6) turned spotting a big start finishing sixth (35.36) last time in a Grade 5 NP at Sandown. Can make amends. LES NORTON (2) started big odds in tougher last time when finishing 8th over 600m at The Meadows. Was a winner the start prior in easier at this track. Solid formlines coming through his last run. Should be about the money. LIZARD COUNTRY (4) crossed over from out wide last start before finishing second (28.50) at this track in a Bottom Up - Grade 5 over 500m. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Must be included in calculations. VINTAGE KING (1) has strong claims after a top-three finish last time out.

Started big odds last time but hit the ground running with a slick early split, giving a sight but fading out of it to finish fourth (25.68) at Shepparton over 450m. Cannot enthuse on this occasion.
