Shepparton Race 4

Slips To Boxes Challenge

Prize Money: $3,360

FIRE UP MARK (5) was a brilliant winner two back scoring by half a length but drifted back latest and safely held when 8th and beaten 7 lengths at Healesville (20.15). Has performed well from this box with a win and two minor placings to his name from six starts. Looks the one to beat on his best form. RAGING ELSA (1) was below best last time but prior to that was narrowly beaten when fourth (17.07) in a Special conditions Veteran race at Healesville. Can turn it around this time. HATARI (2) is a consistent dog overall, in the frame at 10 of 26 starts including eight wins but missed the frame latest when fifth (23.86) over 410m at Horsham. Form at the trip sound including two wins. Super consistent and can feature with the right run. MIGHTY MISS (3) can sneak into the finish.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Geelong over 400m in 22.63. Followed that up with a minor placing over 350m at Healesville at Grade 5 two weeks ago. Needs to find a bit more to test these.
