Bendigo Race 11 - Shima Shine At Stud
TIPSY TURTLE (7) was never in contention last time after losing his position early at Shepparton, but prior to that won easily by 3.5 lengths at this track (24.54) beating Valletta Pearl in a Grade 5 on February 25. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and six minor placings to his credit. Has ability and can bounce back. HELLO COOPER (4) has shown good improvement at his last two starts, most recently finishing 3rd at Shepparton over 390m. Leading player again. PAW OLIVE (5) jumped from a middle draw last time and could manage only fifth and beaten 1.5 lengths (19.92) at Healesville. Will give the top chances plenty to think about. FRANCESCA ROSE (1) can improve on an unplaced run here last time out.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when third (24.83) at big odds over 425m at this track. Aided by the inside draw and can measure up.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fifth last time out over 425m at this track. Looks up against it this time.

Ran a better race when third behind Hooked On Gin at Shepparton last start over 390m (23.25). Gets back so might need a bit of luck.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fourth last time out over 425m at this track. Failed to threaten last start and looks tested again.
