Warragul Race 11

Sportsbet Blackbook (275+Rank)

Stake: $1,668

SLIPPERY SHARK (8) jumped cleanly last start and led all the way (22.36) at Shepparton in a Grade 5 over 390m. Winner at his latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Can go close again if runs up to latest figure. HOOKED ON YUKI (7) has a strong winning strike-rate here with two wins and a placing from six tries. Was out of placings last time (23.35) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing seventh and beaten 6 lengths. Looks well placed here and among the chances. SASSY SPICE (5) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fourth (22.90) last time in a Grade 5 at Shepparton. Better than last start and can bounce back. RHINE STAR (6) gets a chance to improve on an unplaced run at her latest outing at this circuit.

Goes well at this track and trip. At the last outing finished last on July 24 over 400m at this track behind Tinker Jack beaten 13 lengths (23.85) in a Grade 5. Major threat on best form.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but ran over at the finish when a narrow fourth (19.82) over 350m at Healesville. Hard to tip with any confidence.

Solid performance to win by 3.5 lengths at Shepparton over 390m (22.36) beating Hard Compass in Grade 5 on August 2. Was strong in the market and scored a soft win most recently. Stay with him.
