Shepparton Race 7

Prize Money: $2,925

ARGYLE WHISKEY (4) started big odds last time but hit the ground running with a slick early split, giving a sight but fading out of it to finish fourth (25.96) at this track over 450m. The form from her last run stacks up well. Better than last start and worth following up. HIGH COTTON (1) was sent out long odds last time but rocketed out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 2.25 lengths third (28.44) over 500m at Bendigo. Strong form has emerged from his last run. Leading player again. UNIVERSE (3) was below best last time when fourth but three back was a Grade 5 winner in quick time at this track. Has the ability and can find best this time. LEROY'S GIRL (2) is worth consideration.

In the money last time at Bendigo (28.44) in a Grade 5, finishing a 2.25 lengths third. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed six times. Key chance and should go close.

Showed strong early pace and stuck on well despite finishing out of the placings when fourth over 450m this track in 25.96. Should be right in the finish.
