Bendigo Race 4

Shima Shine At Stud

Prize Money: $2,925

MY OPIE (5) goes very well at the course and distance with two wins and a placing from six starts. Was out of the placings last time (19.54) at Healesville in a Grade 5, finishing fourth and beaten 3 lengths. Looks the one to beat with even luck. MYRNIONG STORM (1) has been out of the placings at his last two starts but prior to that produced a dynamic 22.11 win over 390m at Ballarat. Smart winner three back and looks a key chance on that form. RUBY'S SHOW (7) won with authority last start. Sure to run well again. Something for the Multiples: PROCLIVITY (2)

Didn't make the placings last time at Shepparton (22.53) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 8 length fourth. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and seven minors. Makes strong appeal.

Good effort last time when third (22.46) over 390m at Ballarat. Has a low draw. Looks tested in this line-up.

Impressive performance tracking the speed and going on to score by 2 lengths in a Grade 5 last start at Shepparton, clocking a solid 22.20 over the 390m trip. Harder here but will be in this for a long way.

Comments

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but ran over late and missed the frame when a 2 length fourth (25.79) over 450m at Shepparton. Has ability and worth including.

Expected Early Speed:Midfield
