Warragul Race 8 - Shima Shine At Stud
FAYE VALENTINE (2) has a strong record this journey here with three wins and a minor from five starts. Recorded a 2.5 lengths win (22.16) in a Grade 5 last time at Warrnambool. Looks a key chance on best form. NO IRON TEAM (1) rocketed out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when second (26.04) at this track over 460m. Expected to feature again. WHODAT JEWEL (4) comes off a (25.32) win last time, scoring by a long neck in a Grade 5 over 450m at Shepparton. Already a winner from this draw. Makes strong appeal on best. MUGSHOT (5) should be thereabouts.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at Warrnambool over 390m in 22.16 last start, beating Starship Atlas. Should be prominent.

Strong performance leading throughout to score by a long neck in a Grade 5 last start at Shepparton, recording a swift 25.32 over the 450m journey. Expected to feature if runs up to that effort.

Got back last start and could only manage fifth but before that won by a neck at this track (26.02) beating Reality Ute in a Grade 5 on April 7. Not far away last start. Right in the mix again.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fourth last time out over 460m at this track. Can't recommend against this lot.

Didn't make the placings last time at Warrnambool (25.94) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 8 length fifth. Goes well out of this box with a win and four minors. Will need the right run.
