Warragul Race 5

Shima Shine At Stud

Prize Money: $3,360

BLESSED RAIN (5) goes very well at this course having never missed the frame including six wins. Scored by 3 lengths last time (22.30) in a Free For All over 400m at this track. Looks suited and should go close. READ THE ROOM (2) has a strong record this trip with four wins and four placings from 10 starts. Recorded a 3.5 lengths win (22.49) in a Grade 4/5 last time at this track. Looks a key chance on best figures. BULL DURHAM (3) stalked the lead from a low draw and fought on well to finish 1.2 lengths back in second (22.61) at Geelong in a Grade 5 over 400m. Has a strong record from box 3, including two wins. Can measure up. FOR THE PLOT (1) hit the frame latest (16.61) when third at Healesville in a Free For All. Has already won one times from this draw.

Was among the placegetters latest at Healesville when a 4 length third but did clock an outstanding 16.61 for the 300m trip. Should be in this for a long way.

Good effort to win last start by 3.5 lengths over 435m at Sale in a handy (24.83), beating Dr. Eddie. Will find this a bit tougher, not likely to feature on this occasion.
