Shepparton Race 5

Nagambie Gutter Cleaning

Prize Money: $3,360

SHIMA STRIPE (1) tends to take a while to wind up, running on to score two back before spotting a start latest and finishing on strongly into third (22.30) in a Grade 4/5 at this track. Has a good record at this journey. The form out of his last race has been franked. Key chance in this line up. HARD STYLE LEON (2) turned in a solid run fresh when finishing in the placings at this track in a Grade 4/5 (22.27). Form at the trip excellent including nine wins. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and two minor placings to his credit. Expected to feature again. GREEN FLASH (7) is a talented type and proved too classy last time to win by 6 lengths at this track in a handy 22.29 beating Blow Torch. Leading chance again. LADY JULIA (3) cannot be left out after placing last start.

Comments

Won two starts back over 300m at Healesville. Last start he finished 3rd over 390m at this track beaten 6 lengths (22.30) behind Cookie Man in a Grade 4/5 on June 23. Draw likely to suit. Comes through a good form race. Looks a top chance.

Showed strong pace early but found one better when a 5.5 lengths second over 390m this track in 22.27. Fought on last time. Right in the mix again.

Form has been strong with wins two and three starts back. Last time out finished 3rd on June 24 over 410m at Horsham behind Paw Tonk beaten 3 lengths (23.56) in a Mix 3/4. Has been around the mark last couple and should make her presence felt.

Was big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, weakening late to finish a 3 length fourth (22.82) over 400m at Geelong. Tested under these conditions.

Found the going tougher last start when second over 390m at Ballarat. That followed a win two back in 22.71 beating Bring Your Best over 400m at Geelong. Hard to have this time.
