Shepparton Race 6

Grenada Park 5Yo & Older 0-1 Ltw Pace

Prize Money: $4,500

THE SILENT ASSASSIN (8) came from wider on the back row when breaking his maiden last start, scoring by 3.3 metres at Ararat. Drawn to enjoy an economical run with the sprint lane at this disposal. Could work through his grades now. ROYLE BLOOD (2) draws well again so is worth plenty of thought off a last-start maiden win by 2.7 metres at this venue. Debut winner CHARLIE CHOPS (9) cops a tougher draw but has upside while STREETS OF MADRID (6) is fitter for recent racing and could be a big improver in what looks a suitable assignment.

Last start was well back in the run when 8th (Fr4) over 2240m after showing early speed and racing wide at Swan Hill was 8th-13.6 at the bell, beaten 19 m by Goodtime Bravo (2:48.00) in NR up to 49 on October 1 at $61. At his previous start 7th (Sr1) over 1690m at this track beaten 30 m by Roam (2:03.20) in NR 40 to 49 on September 3 at $12. Capable of better.

Was on debut by 1.75 m as favourite when quickly away, (Fr2) at Swan Hill (2:09.90) beating Keep Betting in 4yo+ MAIDEN on October 1 at $3.20 at the bell was leading 1.4. Awkwardly drawn but is likely to progress.
