Mandurah Race 6

Tommy Shelby @ Stud

Prize Money: $2,172

BETTER HALF (1) was game in defeat at the latest run, finishing third and beaten 0.8 lengths (17.32) behind Tori Keeping at this track. Bold showing expected. SUNSET VIBE (4) comes off an average effort last start when eighth at this track over 300m behind Dancing Dennis (17.73) in a Free For All. Strong form has emerged from her last run. Expected to give a good account. HAPPY BUT POOR (7) is always a threat when she races at this journey.

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 1.75 lengths fourth (17.39) over 300m at this track. Has ability and worth including.

Expected Early Speed:Midfield

Last Starts days since last start
