Shepparton Race 4

Sportsbet Feed

Prize Money: $1,530

HARTLAND DUKE (5) stalked the lead from a low draw and fought on well to finish 2.75 lengths back in third (23.46) at Geelong in a Grade 5 over 400m. Top chance in this line up. SUNSHINE NORTH (8) turned spotting a big start finishing sixth (23.48) last time in a Bottom Up - Grade 5 at Geelong. Form here sound including two wins. Some good form is emerging from his last run. Worth another chance. BLUE ROSES (2) was popular in betting last start but disappointed when 3.5 lengths away in fourth (28.90). Was in the money the start prior. Has ability and can atone. BLACK CABANG (1) should be thereabouts.

Inside draw could be an advantage. Last start finished sixth on January 29 over 390m at this track behind Paw Forrester, beaten 7 lengths (23.37) in a Bottom Up - Grade 5. Major threat on best form.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 4th over 500m at Bendigo beaten 3.5 lengths (28.90) behind Opal Whisper in a Grade 5 on January 21. Placed two back at Bendigo. Look for improvement. Not out of it.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage seventh last time out over 390m at this track. Will not find this easy. Not keen.

Good performance to post a big 3.5 lengths win at Warrnambool over 390m (22.79) beating Dimora Stripey in Bottom Up - Grade 6 on February 9. Winner last time and looks well placed again. Worth following up.
