Horsham Race 8 - Shima Shine At Stud
KEEN ON KEV (1) had some strong recent form but was below best last time when eighth (19.87) in a Grade 5 at Healesville. Generally a safe beginner but buried in the ruck from a squeeze draw last time. Has a solid record from this box including two wins and a minor placing. Has winning claims on his best figures. MEPUNGA INFRARED (2) comes off a big run when second in a solid 29.50 at Mt Gambier over 512m. Expecting another bold showing. ALLIGATOR ROCK (3) missed the frame and was safely held latest finishing 8th at Shepparton following on from a second place finish (24.07) at Bendigo the start prior. Can figure in the finish. OVER ACHIEVER (4) must be included in calculations.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Sandown over 515m. Last start finished last over 350m at Healesville beaten 7 lengths (19.87) behind Aston Lyon in a Grade 5 on March 25. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Follow up.

Solid performance after racing just off the speed to win by a head at Bendigo over 425m (23.89) beating Ubiquitous in Grade 5 on April 5. Looks a solid hope.

Didn't make the placings last time at Bendigo (24.48) in a Restricted WIN H, finishing a 9 length seventh. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed two times. Others rate better this time.

Found the going tougher last start when third over 500m at Bendigo. That followed a win two back in 19.56 beating Sun In Cuba over 350m at Healesville. Hard to recommend this time.
