Betting wide open in ‘Shima Shine Out’ market

Editor BOAY

TAB has come up with two tempting ‘Greyhound Racing Offers’ linked to Wednesday night’s $67,000 Group 2 Macey’s Bistro Warrnambool Cup final (450m).

The betting giant is up and running now on ‘Shima Shine OUT’, as well as ‘Warrnambool Cup x Match Race’ (Shima Shine/Ferdinand Boy) – and both propositions represent great value.

Punters can get more than $3 the field with superstar and dual G1 winner Shima Shine (Box 5) – prepared by Victoria’s leading trainer, Andrea Dailly – out of the Cup final betting equation.

Heading that market is ‘country cups king’ Yozo Bale (Box 8) at $3.20, followed by Do It (Box 1) and Qwara Bale (Box 3) – both at $3.50.

Trained by Correy Grenfell – who also has ‘ultimate professional’ Tiggerlong Tonk in the Cup Night Match Race on the program – Yozo Bale won last year’s G2 Bendigo Cup and G2 Ballarat Cup. He was also runner-up in the G1 Temlee and G2 Geelong Gold Cup.

Do It, who defeated Ferdinand Boy in a Cup heat, is one of two finalists for Jeffrey Britton, while the Dailly-trained Qwara Bale has won five of her past eight starts and is the only female in the $47,000 to-the-winner final.

Odds for the remaining finalists are: $7 Dream Wizard (Box 2); $11 Mepunga Warrior (Box 6) & Jax Bale (Box 7); $51 Denzell Bale (Box 4).

TAB is also tempting bettors with a $3.50 offer on Shima Shine winning Warrnambool Cup (Race 8, 8.38pm) and ‘next big thing’ Ferdinand Boy claiming the two-dog, $10,000 winner-takes-all Cup Night Match Race (Race 9, 9.00pm).

Arguably Australia’s No. 1 sprinter and a triple track record holder, Shima Shine blitzed in a Cup heat. He clocked a scintillating 24.76sec – just over half-a-length outside the track record, which has stood for five years.

Ferdinand Boy, trained by David Geall, has won six of his past seven starts – including the G2 Shepparton Cup, setting a new track record, and the G2 Ballarat Cup.
