Shepparton Race 8

Happy 21St Nathan

Prize Money: $3,360

BISCOTTINO (7) jumps from box 7 for the first time after scoring at The Meadows (29.74) in a Grade 5 FIN. Strong form has emerged from his last run. Great chance again. SLICK ECLIPSE (2) has shown good improvement at her last two starts, breaking through last time at this track over 450m. Can go close again if runs up to latest figure. PAW QUEBEC (3) was below best last time at Horsham (23.84) in a Mix 3/4, finishing a 9 length seventh. Has already won two times from this draw. Makes strong appeal on best. RECKLESS (1) profiles nicely here at this trip.

Comes off a (25.36) win last time, scoring by 0.8 lengths in a Grade 5 over 450m at this track. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and two places from six starts. Has ability and should feature.

Was out of placings last time (23.84) at Horsham in a Mix 3/4, finishing seventh and beaten 9 lengths. Box stats strong with two wins and two placings from five starts. With a clean break looks hard to beat.

Good effort to win last start by 0.8 lengths over 525m at The Meadows in a handy (30.24), beating Nancy Devere. Will find this a bit tougher, hard to tip with any confidence.

Charged out of the boxes with a slick early split and went straight to the front, scoring an all the way win (29.74) over 525m at The Meadows. Strong form emerging from the that last run. Leading chance.
