STORM SHADOW (7) box seated off the lead and kept coming to win (22.30) at Shepparton in Maiden H over 390m. Comes out of a solid form race last start. Sure to prove hard to beat. ASTON SASHA (6) put in a much better performance last start when in the placings at this track behind Vinnie Black (22.30) in a Rank Limit - Restricted Win. Has the pace to be prominent. Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Leading chance. MYSTIC CONTESSA (1) hit the ground running from out wide last start and crossed down to lead throughout (22.45) at this track in a Rank Limit - Maiden over 390m. One of the key runners again. Something for the Multiples: MRS. TIGGYWINKLE (4)

Comments

Strongly fancied last time and hit the ground running with a fast early split, paving the way for a 1.75 lengths win at this track over 390m in 22.45. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of the latest win.

Finished third at big odds last time (24.76) over 435m at Sale. Squeeze draw to overcome. Has to do a bit more.

Form has tapered off a little since recording maiden win three back at Warrnambool. Placed two back then finished a 5 length fourth (22.55) at Warrnambool. Rates well on best and expect a better run this time.
