AU - Warwick Farm - Race 5

SHADY ROAD (4) settled midfield than launched a spirited challenge in the straight but was denied by the barest margin when resuming over 5 ½f here last start. Gets in 1.5kgs lighter today to take on the boys. Sure to be very tough to resist over the longer trip this time. BIG TIGER (5) has not raced for nearly a year and is back for a second campaign. In the money at all three runs last prep including a close third here at this trip on debut. Blinkers on straight away which is a sign of intent from Tulloch Lodge. SILENCIO PORFAVOR (8) returned from a six-week let-up with a feeble effort over today's trip at Randwick recently. Fitter for that run and far more at home back in midweek company. KUJENGA (6) has found the line with purpose in her two runs this prep and should be more effective over the longer trip today. SENJUTSU (7) scored a tough win first-up at Wyong and is capable of going to this next level.
