Warragul Race 6

Shima Shine At Stud (300+Rank)

Stake: $1,683

SPICY PIPER (7) was safely held last time out, finishing sixth at this track over 400m behind Black Tycoon (23.46) in a Grade 5. Rates on top in this line up. POPPY RICK (1) has been a little hard to follow, finishing out of the placings latest but was in winning form two back scoring in a Grade 6 at Warrnambool. Can feature with the right run. SPIRIT OF DUKE (5) missed the frame latest when sixth at Sale (25.54) but scored three back at Sale (24.89). Solid record here at the distance winning three races. Form from his last run is proving to be solid. Has ability and can measure up. HOLTORF BALE (8) has a solid strike rate from this box.

Didn't make the placings last time at Ballarat (22.89) in a Grade 5, finishing a 14 length fourth. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and three minors. Looks well placed and should feature.

Comments

Was sent out long odds last time but charged out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 3 length fourth (19.73) over 350m at Healesville. Has claims on best form.

Hasn't shown any early speed lately and drifts back in his races. The latest effort was a 21 length eighth over 400m at this track. Would be better placed in something easier.
