Shepparton Race 4

Nagambie Gutter Cleaning

Prize Money: $2,925

SCOTT EPHRAIM (6) is rarely far away but tends to find one better, placing 11 from 15 starts. Has been in the money the last three starts, the latest when second (24.12) at Bendigo. Goes very well at the trip finding the frame in each of 10 starts. Deserves serious consideration. HIGH FIVE INDI (2) has been a little hard to follow, missing the frame last time but was a Rank Limit - Grade 7 winner three starts ago and has drawn 2 where she has won before. Key player on best and worth another try. ZARI BETTINA (7) returned a better run last time, finishing in the money (22.43) at this track behind Sheikh Of Tweak in a Bottom Up - Restricted Win. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Hard to beat again. PAW OLYMPUS (1) is worth another chance despite missing the top-three here most recently.

Drawn inside box. At the last start finished last on February 23 over 450m at this track behind Zipping Columbus beaten 17 lengths (26.13) in a Special conditions H. Expect improvement on the latest effort. Great chance to atone.
