Shepparton Race 5

Ckh Painting (1-3 Wins)

Prize Money: $2,925

SPRUIKING (2) is worth forgiving last start after finishing seventh (26.44) in a T3 RSTW at Ballarat over 450m. Has ability and looks hard to stop. ZARI BETTINA (3) opened a winning account two back then missed the frame latest finishing a 7 length fourth last start at this track over 390m (22.65). Has two places this course. Well placed here and should do much better. PAW YUSAMI (1) finished third (18.82) two back at Wagga but out of the placings last time when 6th there. Can do much better this time. CASH IN VIEW (6) deserves plenty of thought over this trip.
