Shepparton Race 5

Prize Money: $1,530

LIKE A BLAZE (8) showed little early speed at her last couple, the latest finishing fifth (22.94) in a Bottom Up - Grade 5 at Warrnambool. Has claims if she runs up to expectations. ZIPPING GLINDA (7) has a strong record this track and trip including two wins from four starts. Missed the frame latest (20.83) when fifth over 350m at Traralgon in a Rank Limit - Grade 5. Suited here and expected to run well. PAW KIPLIN (1) drifted back from the inside but sliced through to hit the frame when a 3.5 lengths third (20.52) at Traralgon in Grade 5. Will give a great sight again. SMALL MERCIES (5) is a last-start placegetter at this track and distance - solid claims again.

Ran a better race when third behind Valencia Tilly at Traralgon last start over 350m (20.52). Likely to play a major role.

Missed the frame when seventh (29.51) at Bendigo at last run and returns here after a three-and-a-half months break. Has ability and worth including.

Got back last start and could only manage sixth but before that won by 2 lengths at this track (25.77) beating Old Habits in a Grade 5 on August 6. Not far away last start. Right in the mix again.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage seventh last time out over 390m at this track. Prepared to overlook.

Racing well without winning, recording three minors on end, the latest hitting the ground running with a fast early sectional but finishing in the minors again when third (22.57) over 390m at this track. Close to the speed and boxed on well at her latest run. In the mix again.
