No need to get off the best sprinter yet in the Tips and Race Preview for the 2021 The Shorts at Randwick on Saturday.
Nature Strip was so good resuming. He's $2.30 in the 2021 The Shorts (1100m) at Randwick on Saturday.

2021 THE SHORTS – RACE ANALYSIS AND TIPS
Cracking early tempo with several going forward primarily Eduardo, Rothfire and Nature Strip. NATURE STRIP (1) posted his best first up performance to date last start when cruising to victory in the Concorde Stakes. Was only marginally off his peak and only looks to have to repeat to be winning again.
MASKED CRUSADER (4) is the new kid on the block and it was hard not to like his return at Caulfield. Clearly trending the right way though this is a little different as they won't come back to him as easily as Amish Boy and Oxley Road.
EDUARDO (2) has beaten Nature Strip in the past and is as solid as a rock. Looks likely to lead and give them all something to chase. ROTHFIRE (5) is back from an injury enforced lay-off and while he has trialled well, eye-balling Nature Strip/Rothfire is a completely different ballgame. This will make or break him.
