Shepparton Race 10

Prize Money: $2,925

SLICK IVAN (8) was out of the placings last time when eighth at Warrnambool (23.06) but scored five back at Geelong (22.48). Looks the one to beat on his best form. PAW BRODY (2) is a capable type and proved too strong last time to win by 3.5 lengths at Warragul in a handy 22.57 beating Why Not Seb. Yet to miss the placings from three starts out of this box. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of that last-start win. ARCANA (1) finished 2 lengths away in third last start over 350m at Healesville but in a strong 19.18. Expecting another bold showing. AIR SPEED (5) must be respected at his pet distance.

Was among the placegetters latest at Healesville when a 2 length third but did clock an excellent 19.18 for the 350m trip. Looms as the one to beat this time.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at Warragul over 400m in 22.57 last start, beating Why Not Seb. Most reliable when jumping from this box. Leading chance.

Could only manage sixth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest at double-figure odds when third (24.23) over 425m at Bendigo. Has a solid record off the draw but needs to bounce back.

Was out of placings last time (24.17) at Bendigo in a Grade 4, finishing fifth and beaten 8 lengths. Has three successes and three minors from 11 starts from box 4. Has ability but looking elsewhere this time.

Missed the frame last start when seventh and beaten 8 lengths at this track. Form solid prior to that including a win at this track three back. Better than last run and looks an each way chance.

Was out of the placings last time at Warrnambool but prior to that had been racing consistently, notching three minors in a row. Tough draw to overcome and will need to find best.
