Shepparton Race 5

Ckh Painting

Prize Money: $1,530

INTEX BALE (6) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fourth (22.60) in a Grade 5 at this track. Key runner on her best form. HARTLAND DUKE (1) was safely held last time out, finishing fifth at Ballarat over 390m behind Peaches (22.83) in a Grade 5. Should be about the money. PAW WAITARA (3) wasn't far away at the finish when 5th and beaten only 2.75 lengths (22.65) at this track. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and two minor placings to her credit. Likely to play a prominent role. MARINO (2) was a huge winner last start. Right in the mix.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early split and went straight to the front, scoring an all the way win (24.34) over 425m at Bendigo. Must be a winning chance again.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (22.65) in a Grade 5, finishing a 2.75 lengths fifth. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and two minors. Looks a leading chance.

Missed the frame last time but prior to that was in the money twice in a row including a narrow loss two back when second (24.69) over 425m at Bendigo. Boxed awkwardly and will need to find best.
