Horsham Race 8

Shima Shine At Stud

Prize Money: $2,925

PAW OAKLEY (8) had been in super honest form hitting the frame two times on end before finishing fourth (25.90) at Shepparton last time. Strong form has emerged from his last run. Has claims if he runs up to expectations. DIMORA BIG BOY (6) crossed over from out wide last start before finishing second (22.39) at Warrnambool in a Grade 5 over 390m. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings two times from four starts. Can feature again. TOKYO ROMANCE (1) comes off a (23.64) win last time, scoring by 2 lengths in a Mix 6/7 over 410m at this track. Has two wins already from this draw. Looks one of the chances. PAW XYLA (7) can measure up with the right run.

Good performance to win by 2 lengths at this track over 410m (23.64) beating Mantis Bale in Mix 6/7 on June 30. Among the chances and worth following up.

Was out of placings last time (24.47) at Bendigo in a Grade 5, finishing fifth and beaten 4 lengths. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and two minors. Will need the right run.

Flew the lids with a fast early split last time, hitting the frame with a 1.75 lengths second (22.39) over 390m at Warrnambool and making it two placings on end. Boxed on well at the latest run to hit the frame. Leading player.

Could only manage fifth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest at double-figure odds when third (24.34) over 425m at Bendigo. Boxed out wide and will need the breaks to go her way.

Placed only run here over this trip. Latest effort finished 4th on June 22 over 450m at Shepparton behind Paw Fable beaten 5.5 lengths (25.90) in a Grade 5. Coming out of a very strong form race. Expected to go well.
