Warragul Race 12

Shima Shine At Stud

Prize Money: $2,925

ROMP TIN (1) was drawn the middle but pinged the lids and led until the final stages, holding on for a place (22.92) at this track in a Special conditions H over 400m. Can find winning form. WHY NOT SEB (3) won again and recorded an impressive time after running them ragged recording back to back wins at Sale over 435m (24.67). Ran one of the fastest times on the program in his latest win. Must be included in calculations. THUNDER ROSE (2) struggled in tougher grade last start after losing his position early at Sale, but prior to that won by half a length at Sale (24.54) beating BRING YOUR BEST in a Free For All on January 25. Will give the top chances plenty to think about. BRING YOUR BEST (5) must be included in calculations.

Could only manage seventh last time but the start prior went down fighting at double figure odds when second (24.58) over 435m at Sale. Boxed awkwardly but is among the better hopes.
