Balnarring Race 5 - Rst Trophy (1)

SHINTARO SAMURAI (4) did little and finished 17 lengths from the winner in tenth over 1608m at Woolamai last start, a less impressive effort than his eighth at Yarra Valley the run before. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. THE VILLAGE FOX (1) was flying with three wins in a row before being sent out favourite last time and finishing second over 1608m at Woolamai. Rates highly and is worth another chance. CARLITO BRIGANTE (3) hasn't made an impression lately despite market confidence. Last start could only manage fifth over 2308m at Woolamai. Top-three chance on best figures. SIERRA SUN (2) scored two back at Buchan but was below his best last time when fifth over 1608m at Woolamai. Worth another chance.
