Shepparton Race 13

Prize Money: $2,925

PAW WAITARA (6) finds it hard to break through. Finished second (22.53) at Ballarat latest and might be close to finding winning form again. Deserves serious consideration. ACE REDEEMER (1) returned a better run last time, finishing in the money (22.86) at this track behind Georgie Bale in a Grade 5. Turned chasing the leaders but kept coming. Has performed well from this box with a win and five minor placings to her name from 12 starts. Bold showing expected. INTERCEPT QUEEN (3) had a tough draw to overcome and was game in defeat when only one length from SASSY PANAMA in second (17.20) at Healesville. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings three times from six starts. Expected to feature. ELLIOTT NESS (8) warrants respect following a recent placing in a fast run.

Showed good improvement when second behind Sassy Panama at Healesville last start over 300m (17.20). Gets back so might need a bit of luck.

Backs up after winning by one length at Healesville (17.15) beating Intercept Queen in a Grade 5 on January 31 six days ago. Likely to find this a lot tougher and she needs to find another gear.
