Shepparton Race 6

Byers Electrical

Prize Money: $3,360

SLICK ECLIPSE (8) goes very well at the course and distance with three wins and a placing from eight starts. Below best last time at this track (25.67) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 4.5 lengths fourth. Appeals as a leading chance in this. FLASH OF GENIUS (1) has been out of the placings at his last couple of runs but impressed when clocking a superb 25.60 over 460m at Warragul three starts back. Has the ability and looks a key chance. VIKING RULER (6) turned in a better run last time to find a minor placing (25.49) at Ballarat behind Regal Huxley in a Grade 4/5. Has the pace to be prominent. Will give a great sight again. IVORY HAMADA (3) hit the frame latest (25.71) when second at Warrnambool in a Grade 4/5. Has already won out of this draw.

Hasn't been that impressive recently but he has solid credentials over this track and distance. Should be right in the finish.

Didn't make the placings last time at The Meadows (30.23) in a Free For All, finishing a 8 length fifth. Has one success and two minors from six starts from box 2. Makes appeal on best.

Won two starts back at this track over 450m in 25.38. Followed that up with a minor placing over 450m at Warrnambool at Grade 4/5 four days ago. Has a slick 25.38 PB at this course and distance. Among the chances.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage seventh last time out over 715m at Sandown. Others have better credentials.

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but ran over late and missed the frame when a 3 length fourth (22.36) over 390m at Ballarat. Has ability and looks a winning hope.

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, grabbed late but holding on to a placing when a 1.5 lengths second (25.49) over 450m at Ballarat. In the money last time and looks well placed to go one better.

Was a winner three back at this track then finished in the minors before missing the frame last time when seventh (26.17) at this track. Has ability but this tough and looks a place chance at best.
