Shepparton Race 10

Stake: $3,159

LEONARDO ZEAL (3) had the drop on the lead and went on to be beaten 2.25 lengths into third (22.68) at Ballarat in a Grade 5 over 390m. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Deserves serious consideration. KING MATTEO (1) took the sit on the lead from an outside box but levelled up and drew clear to score (22.59) at this track in a Grade 5 over 390m. Should feature again. AEROPLANE ARROW (2) turned in a better run last time to find a minor placing (22.72) at this track behind KING MATTEO in a Grade 5. Has the pace to be prominent. Can feature again. WE ARE ONE (4) has top-three aspirations after placing as public elect last time.

Comments

Big odds last time but hit the ground running with a strong early split, giving a sight but fading only late to finish third (22.72) at this track over 390m. Close to the speed and boxed on well at the latest run. Key chance again.

In the money last time at Ballarat (22.68) in a Grade 5, finishing a 2.25 lengths third. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minors. Looks a key chance on best form.

Form has been solid with minor placings at her last three starts. Last time out finished 2nd over 350m at Healesville beaten 1.2 lengths (19.59) behind Angry Franky in a Grade 5 on June 27. Deserves a win and is expected to run well again.
