Shepparton Race 3

Ckh Painting Veterans (250+Rank)

Prize Money: $2,925

CINNABAR ICON (8) made light work of a wide draw last time with a slick early sectional but gathered in and had to settle for the minors, finishing third (22.45) at this track over 390m. Can measure up this time. TENSION HEAD (1) jumped from a middle draw last time and could manage only fifth and beaten 4.5 lengths (16.88) at Healesville. Has a good winning strike rate at this journey. Solid formlines coming through his last run. Likely to play a prominent role. HOLLYWOOD FRANKY (7) missed the frame latest but had been racing well prior to that including a Rank Limit - Grade 5 win two back (22.70) at Ballarat. Has the ability and can find best this time. TINKER DOT (6) is worth consideration.

Didn't make the placings last time at Geelong (23.27) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 7 length fifth. Has three wins and four placings from 13 starts from the draw. Makes appeal on best.

Charged out of the boxes with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when third (22.45) at this track over 390m. Has an excellent 22.04 best time at this course and distance. Big chance.
