Bendigo Race 6

Shima Shine At Stud (275+ Rank)

Stake: $1,652

LEONARDO ZEAL (1) doesn't have the best strike-rate. Hit the board with a minor placing last time when third (22.66) at Shepparton. Goes very well from this draw with two wins and two minor placings from five starts. Good form should continue. ATLAS ALIEN (6) boasts a strong record this journey here with four wins and two minors from 12 tries. Was out of the placings last time (25.81) at Shepparton in a Grade 5, finishing fourth and beaten 5.5 lengths. Looks well placed here and among the chances. BLACK LICORICE (2) boasts a strong record this journey here with four wins and two minors from seven tries. Missed the frame latest (26.04) when fourth over 450m at Warrnambool in a Grade 5. Looks well placed here and among the chances. COLLINDA POPS (4) has claims fresh from a recent placing at this track and distance.

Missed the frame last start when fourth and beaten 8 lengths at Warrnambool. Form solid prior to that including a win at Warrnambool three back. Rates strongly and can return to winning form.

Form has been solid with minor placings at her last three starts. Last time out finished 3rd on July 11 over 425m at this track behind Gazing Collinda beaten 5.5 lengths (24.28) in a Grade 5. Going better than form suggests. Don't underestimate.

Could only manage fourth last time but the start prior hit the frame when third (22.67) over 390m at Shepparton. Has a decent strike-rate from the draw and is worth plenty of thought.
