Shepparton Race 12

Two More Races To Go

Prize Money: $2,925

VASTUS (4) did a good job to finish second last time out over 390m at Warrnambool (22.59) in a Grade 5, the second top-three finish on the trot. Key player on best and expected to bounce back. CHALK AND CHEESE (2) failed to come into contention last start after settling well back at Ballarat, but prior to that won by 1.5 lengths at Warragul (22.94) beating Unleash Me in a Grade 5 on April 10. Goes well out of this box with a win and four minor placings. Should be about the mark. HYLAND AZULA (1) was safely held last time out, finishing sixth at Bendigo over 425m behind Hot Ashes (24.26) in a Grade 4/5. Great chance to atone. PAW UMA (8) looks an each-way chance.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Warragul over 400m. Last start finished 6th in a Grade 5 on April 15 over 390m at Ballarat behind Lightning Range beaten 5.5 lengths (22.47). Should be right in the finish.

Got back last start and could only manage sixth but before that won by 0.6 lengths at this track (25.49) beating Flipper Paige in a Mix 6/7 on April 13. Happy enough to avoid.
