Shepparton Race 10

Elite Collars And Leads

Prize Money: $2,925

PAW XANTHIE (2) jumped from out wide and was game in defeat last start when a half a length second (20.26) behind Paw Murbella at Traralgon. Goes well out of this box with a win and five minor placings. Top chance in this line up. HAVOC ONE (5) flew the lids from out wide with an impressive turn of foot, going on to clock 23.10 when a one length winner over 401m at Richmond last time. In top form and looks a key chance again. MASSETER (8) is an honest type in the frame at 19 of 46 starts including last time when third (23.54) over 410m at Horsham. Tends to go well on this box draw. Best form too dangerous to ignore. Have to include. BAROOGA QUEEN (7) looks an each-way chance.

Hit the ground running last time with a strong early split and tried to lead throughout but had to settle for the minors when second (20.26) at Traralgon over 350m. Expected to go very well.

Finished in the minors last time in a Grade 5 at this track when a 1.75 lengths second but did run a hot 22.13 for the 390m trip. Bold showing expected but prefer each way again.

Got back last start and could only manage sixth but before that won by 1.5 lengths at Horsham (23.35) beating Happy And Numb in a Grade 5 on May 12. Solid claims this line-up.

Showed brilliant pace early and gave a sight when a 4.5 lengths third over 410m Horsham in 23.54. Close to the speed and boxed on well at the latest run. Key chance again.
