Warragul Race 3 - Shima Shine At Stud Veterans

BETTER BANJO (5) stalked the lead from a middle draw and boxed on well to finish 1.3 lengths back in second (22.02) at Warrnambool in a Free For All over 390m. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Deserves serious consideration. BURN ALONG (4) was prominent throughout when winning two back but could manage only midfield last time when 4th and beaten 4.5 lengths at this track (22.96). Boasts a strong record from this draw with seven wins and two minor placings from 14 starts. Will give the top chances plenty to think about. WINKING WILLIE (1) finished a 1.75 lengths third last start over 350m at Healesville in a strong 19.37. Has the ability and can measure up. IDYLLIC JAMES (7) can run a bold race on best form.
