Shepparton Race 9

Nagambie Gutter Cleaning

Prize Money: $2,925

KRAKEN REG (2) turned in a better effort at this track last start, finishing second behind Sekola Blue (25.64) in a T3 RSTW. Has the pace to be prominent. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Winning claims. ASTON GRANDEUR (7) filled the minor placings two races on end before breaking through for a maiden win last time, scoring by 7 lengths (25.68) at Ballarat. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of that last-start win. HARTLAND AXEL (1) looks close to another win after hitting the frame in a half a length second (22.92) in a Rank Limit - Grade 6 at Geelong. Expected to feature again. XARA MELODY (3) is a last-start placegetter who is in the mix again.

Latest effort finished 2nd over 400m at Geelong beaten half a length (22.92) behind Paw Yennara in a Rank Limit - Grade 6 on June 30. Looks well placed and should prove hard to beat.
