Bendigo Race 8 - Shima Shine At Stud (250+ Rank)
MONTANA ICON (1) placed in a Grade 4/5 when a neck second this course and distance last time in a personal Best Time (28.51) and also clocked one of the quickest times on the card. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. LIZARD COUNTRY (7) was safely held last time out, finishing seventh at this track over 500m behind Joni Black (28.91) in a Restricted WIN H. Was in the money prior to that. Form from his last run is proving strong. Can measure up this time. HIGHLAND JACK (6) was below best at his last couple, the latest finishing fifth at Ballarat, but was among the placings at this track three back. Can feature with the right run. PENGUIN PAT (8) is in winning form and worth including in the main hopes.

Solid performance to win by a neck at Shepparton over 450m (25.64) beating Zambada Icon in Grade 5 on October 9. Happy enough to dismiss in this field.

Missed the frame last time when sixth (26.46) at Ballarat. Prior to that had been racing well. Aided by a low draw but looks safely held.

Hit the ground running last time with a fast early split and never headed, leading throughout to win by one length (25.71) over 450m at Ballarat. Winner last time and looks well placed again. Worth following up.
