Windsor Castle Hotel

Prize Money: $2,335

SHADOW ASSASSIN (4) lines up chasing another win after scorching around this track over 400m in 22.19 on August 24. Has the ability and looks a key chance again. BACKYARD FRIENDS (1) put in a much better performance last start when in the placings at this track behind SHADOW ASSASSIN (22.67) in a Grade 5. Gave a start buy found the line well late. Bold showing expected. TOP BIN NISMO (8) had a tricky draw and ran well to finish third, beaten 1.75 lengths, (25.38) at this track. Expecting another good run. BORROWED TIMES (6) picked up a cheque in slick time most recently - in the mix again.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but bumped into one better when runner up (25.27) at this track over 450m. Has an outstanding 22.25 best time at this course and distance. Worth including.
