Shepparton Race 6

Grv Distance Racing

Prize Money: $4,445

SLICK NITRO (8) jumped from the same box last time when a half a length second (42.16) at Sandown over 715m. Has the ability and looks a key chance. POWER SQUEEZE (1) scored well last start as odds-on favourite by 11 lengths at The Meadows in a handy 42.71 beating Fast Reply. Nicely placed here on the inside and has the ability and in winning form. Capable of going well again. AUNTIE AMBER (7) was below best at her last couple, the latest finishing fifth at Bendigo, but was among the placings at this track three back. Can improve sharply here. PEPPER PIE (4) is not to be discarded.

Recorded a 11 length win (42.71) in a Grade 4/5 last time at The Meadows. Goes very well off the draw boasting two wins and two places from five starts. Expected to be in the finish.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fourth last time out over 660m at Ballarat. Needs to find a bit more to test these.

Missed the frame last time but finished in the minors at big odds two back when second (26.18) over 460m at Warragul. Awkwardly drawn but is in the mix.

Had been racing in honest fashion, recording three placings in a row, before finishing fifth (38.90) at Ballarat last start. Tricky draw to overcome and will need to find best.

Is back up to 650m which has been an issue in the past. Last appeared when fifth over 500m at Bendigo five days ago. On best form is more than capable. Keep safe.
