Shepparton Race 8

Prize Money: $2,925

MAJOR SHIRAZ (6) charged out of the boxes with a slick early split and went straight to the front, giving a huge sight but headed late when a 4.5 lengths third (25.81) over 450m at this track. Likely to feature again. CHORUS LINE (1) turned in a plain run last time when sixth at Warragul over 400m behind Elite Intention (23.16) in a Grade 5 H. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Warrants plenty of respect. FIGURE OF SPEECH (3) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fifth (25.88) last time in a Rank Limit - Grade 5 at this track. Will give the top chances plenty to think about. KRAKEN MISSILES (2) showed good early speed and won last start. Big chance on that form.

Placed at both starts this track and trip. Last start finished 6th in a Grade 5 H on April 28 over 400m at Warragul behind Elite Intention beaten 6 lengths (23.16). Rates highly and looks tough to beat.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when second (26.11) over 450m at this track. Awkward draw to overcome. Looks to have the job ahead.

Hit the ground running last time with a strong early split and tried to lead throughout but had to settle for the minors when third (25.81) at this track over 450m. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Pay to follow.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when third (22.43) at big odds over 390m at this track. Boxed out wide and needs to find best form to feature.
