Shepparton Race 12

Two More Races To Go

Prize Money: $2,925

WHIRLER (2) settled midfield in the run and boxed on to finish there when 4th (22.51) at this track. Solid record here at the distance winning three races. Better than last start and worth following up. ZELDA BRAGA (1) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fifth (19.75) in a Grade 5 at Healesville. Solid record here winning five races. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Expected to feature in the finish. KRAKEN MAIN (3) has a strong record this journey here with two wins and a minor from five starts. Was out of the placings last time (22.85) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing sixth and beaten 11 lengths. Can feature in the finish. MISS BOBBIE (8) with some luck can improve on an unplaced run last time here.

Was out of placings last time (22.51) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing fourth and beaten 4.5 lengths. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed three times. Expected to be in the finish.

Missed the frame last start when a 11 length sixth (22.85) at this track. Previous form sound including a win three back at this track. Capable and may well bounce back this time.

Had been racing in honest fashion, recording three placings in a row, before finishing fourth (24.44) at Bendigo last start. Has a squeeze box to navigate and appears tested on latest effort.
