Shepparton Race 14

Prize Money: $2,925

PAW NORN (1) is a strong form, jumping from this same box to score (22.53) by 6 lengths in a Bottom Up - Grade 5 at Warrnambool last time and making it back to back wins. Has the ability and looks a key chance again. SMOOTH BEAUTY (2) led all the way last time out to score by 3 lengths (22.96) at Geelong in a Bottom Up - Grade 5 over 400m. Shapes as a top winning chance on latest effort. SWEET BEGONIA (5) has a fair record and proved too classy last time to win by 0.8 lengths at this track in a handy 22.95 beating Happy Buddha. Likely to be in the finish. TOPPER SNOWDRIFT (3) can sneak into the finish again.

Good performance to win by 0.8 lengths at this track over 390m (22.95) beating Happy Buddha in Bottom Up - Grade 5 on July 30. Was strong in the market and scored a soft win most recently. Stay with her.
