Shepparton Race 12

Two More Races To Go

Stake: $1,775

PELICAN'S SUNDAY (3) finds it hard to win. Finished second (22.42) at this track latest and might be close to finding winning form again. Likely to feature again. SUNNY STRIDE (2) has been mixing form lately, hitting the frame two back before finishing fifth (22.58) at this track in a Grade 5. Can hit the frame this time. OUR BOY BILLY (7) has been out of the placings at his last couple but on the winners' heels when placing three back (22.85) in a Grade 5 at Geelong. Can hit the frame this time. DASHING NANDO (1) profiles nicely over this trip.

Was out of placings last time (22.58) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing fifth and beaten 6 lengths. Has performed well off the draw with a win and two places from five starts. Looks suited and should go close.

Hit the ground running with a fast early sectional but found one better when runner up over 390m at this track clocking 22.42. Found one better last time. Well placed and worth following up.

Needs to do more than recent efforts, the latest a sixth over 390m at this track. Happy enough to dismiss in this field.

Last start finished 4th on December 22 over 390m at this track behind Wandana Lad beaten 4 lengths (22.67) in a Special conditions Veteran race. Some good form is emerging from that last run. Expected to prove hard to beat.
