Shepparton Race 11

Blue Kermaro At Stud

Prize Money: $2,925

FURY'S RAGE (8) started big odds last time but hit the ground running with a strong early split, giving a sight but fading only late to finish second (22.25) at this track over 390m. Must come into calculations. PAW XANTHIE (1) missed the frame last time when fifth (20.27) at Traralgon but prior to that had three placings in a row. Form at the trip sound including five wins. Has ability and can measure up. CHEVRON STROLL (3) comes off a decent 22.19 placing at Ballarat over 390m. This tougher but expected to be in the finish. PAW PASCAL (2) can fill a top-three spot.

Suited by inside box. Last start finished 5th over 350m at Traralgon beaten 6 lengths (20.27) behind Peaky Avenger in a Grade 5 on August 7. Missed the frame last time but prior to that had three placings in a row. Deserves another chance.

Was big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, weakening late to finish a 4 length fourth (24.30) over 425m at Bendigo. Solid chance with even luck.

Well supported last time and rocketed out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but had to settle for the minor money, finishing a 0.6 lengths second (22.19) over 390m at Ballarat. Boxed on well at the latest run to hit the frame. Leading player.

Sent out long odds last time but rocketed out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 0.8 lengths second (22.35) over 390m at this track. Has ability and can run well.

Finished third at big odds last time (22.40) over 390m at this track. Squeeze draw to overcome. Has to do a bit more.

Missed the frame latest (20.51) when fourth over 350m at Traralgon in a Mix 3/4. Goes well out of this box with a win and three minors. Looks a place chance at best.
