Woolamai Race 4 - Mdn Plate
ONYA SHOULDERS (7) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1800m at Kerang, beaten 11 lengths into fifth. Tackling a more suitable race this time so she is sure to be prominent. BAY OF JOY (4) has switched yards since finishing sixth five-and-a-half weeks ago over 2100m at Stony Creek. Has found the right race and can take this out. DIG FOR VICTORY (5) is yet to break through in three runs. Finished sixth at his last appearance over 1600m at Hanging Rock on January 26. Suited in this line up and is among the better hopes. MARISTELA (6) finished 6 lengths from the winner in fourth at her most recent appearance over 2140m at Yea. Looks to be in the right race to figure in the finish.
