The Shorty Hotel 1-3 Win

Prize Money: $3,235

SENTOSA (1) was below best at her last start when 7th at this track following a second place finish (30.17) there two back. Has ability and looks hard to stop. SHINING REIGN (7) scored two back with ease when racing on speed but drifted back and missed the frame latest finishing a 10 length 4th at Gosford (30.31). Worth following up. MIDNIGHT MOHAWK (8) was a little disappointing last start at Gunnedah when 4th (31.29) over 527m. Has won here at this journey. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Bold showing expected. ZIPPING DESIRE (2) is in the mix despite finishing out of the placings here last start.

Has finished fourth at his last couple of starts, most recently at this track over 515m. Likely to find this too tough.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 4th over 527m at Gunnedah beaten 7 lengths (31.29) behind Mully The Master in a Grade 5 on August 29. Placed two back at Wentworth Park. Some good form is emerging from that last run. Expected to prove hard to beat.
