Shepparton Race 7

Prize Money: $2,925

BIG BIG BEAR (4) boasts a strong record this journey here with five wins and two minors from 12 tries. Comes off a (25.61) win last time, scoring by 2.75 lengths in a Grade 5 over 450m at this track. Looks a key chance on best form. HONEST BEERS (7) took advantage of the inside draw with an all-the-way win last start (30.50) at The Meadows in a Grade 5 over 525m. Deserves serious consideration again. COMPARE JOE (8) has a strong record here with two wins and two placings from six starts. Was out of placings last time (28.34) at Horsham in a R/A FIN, finishing fifth and beaten 12 lengths. Makes strong appeal on best. THERMAL FLICKER (3) should be thereabouts after filling a top-three spot from this box most recently.

Won two starts back at Warragul over 400m in 23.00. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fifth over 390m at this track at Grade 4/5 level. Needs to find a bit more.

Good effort to score just four days ago over 450m at this track by 2.75 lengths in a Grade 5. The last win was in one of the quickest times on the card. Stick with him.

Goes well at this track and trip. At the last outing finished 5th in a R/A FIN on June 19 over 485m at Horsham behind Mepunga Summit beaten 12 lengths (28.34). Racing well and has to be included.
