Shepparton Race 7

Gpp Laser3300

Prize Money: $2,925

NICKY'S SECRET (7) finds it hard to win but looks close to breaking through. Finished second (29.20) at Bendigo last time making it two minors on end. Expected to feature in the finish again. SHE'S TROPIC (8) had a tricky draw last time and although midfield in 4th wasn't far away finishing 3.5 lengths from the winner (24.82). Cannot be taken lightly. THERMAL FLAME (1) showed little early speed at her last couple, the latest finishing sixth (23.44) in a Mix 6/7 at Geelong. Can figure in the finish. ANOTHER BEVERAGE (6) can play a role in the finish without surprising.

Missed the frame latest (23.44) when sixth over 400m at Geelong in a Mix 6/7. Starts from box 1 for the first time here. Key chance and should go close.

Has a maiden win to her credit but has been finding it hard to feature subsequently. Last raced when eighth over 450m at this track three-and-a-half weeks ago. Others preferred.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior was just edged out when second (22.68) at big odds over 390m at this track. Tricky draw to overcome but in the mix on his best form.
