Shepparton Race 11

Sportsbet Green Tick

Prize Money: $3,360

SOLICIT (8) is worth forgiving for his last effort when fourth (25.69) at this track over 450m. Has a strong record at this journey including 11 wins. Better than the latest effort and deserves another chance. ROCK IT QUEEN (4) has been in the minors the last two, the latest showing strong pace early but gathered in and finished a 2.5 lengths third over 390m this track in 22.20. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Must be included in calculations. RUXTON SHINE (1) won again in an impressive display after running them ragged to make it two on end, scoring by 1.5 lengths (22.37) at this track over 390m. Has definite claims. VALKYRIE (2) should be thereabouts despite an unplaced run here most recently.

Big odds last time but hit the ground running with a fast early split, paving the way for a 1.5 lengths win at this track over 390m in 22.37. In top form and can make it three straight.

Missed the frame last start when fifth and beaten 8 lengths at this track. Form solid prior to that including a win at this track three back. Has ability and looks a key chance.

Hit the frame at this track last time when a 2.5 lengths third but did record a slick 22.20 over the 390m trip. Can measure up with a repeat of that effort.

Was out of placings last time (22.42) at this track in a Grade 4/5, finishing sixth and beaten 5.5 lengths. Goes very well off the draw boasting two wins and two places from five starts. Will need the right run.

Strong performance to win by a nose at The Meadows over 525m (30.70) beating White Crest in Mix 3/4 on July 9. Solid win last time out but this looks tough.
