Shepparton Race 10

Shepp City Fencing

Stake: $1,775

PAW OLIVE (2) was quickly out of the tricky draw with a fast early sectional and clocked 19.69 with a 0.8 lengths win at Healesville over 350m. Expected to go well again. TRANSIT LOUNGE (8) broke a string of placings finishing in the money two on end before a last start sixth (17.40) at Healesville. Expected to give a good account. KRAKEN SCOOBY (6) was responsible for a modest effort most recently when fifth at Bendigo over 500m behind Athens Aura (29.76) in a Bottom Up - Restricted Win. Shapes as one to consider. GROVEDALE BUG (7) is in the mix despite missing out at this track last time.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage sixth last time out over 450m at this track. Hard to recommend this time.
