Shepparton Race 8

Nagambie Gutter Cleaning

Stake: $3,730

SLICK BADGER (2) hit the frame latest in a scorching time (24.93) when second behind Kraken Whisky over 450m at this track. Smart time latest and looks a key chance here. PAW XENA (3) ran a respectable 25.41 when filling a minor placing over 450m at Warrnambool last start. Rates a leading chance if runs up to latest. NAD AL SHEBA (1) was on speed settling but found some traffic and was hampered in running before finishing seventh (30.48) at Wentworth Park in a NG. Rates a key player and gets chance to atone. ASTON GUITAR (6) has ability and can find the frame.

Was out of placings last time (30.48) at Wentworth Park in a NG, finishing seventh and beaten 17 lengths. Goes very well off the draw boasting seven wins and three places from 12 starts. Leading chance.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but had to contend with second when clocking 24.93 over 450m at this track. Has run hot time here with a 24.93 PB at the distance. Key chance.

Backs up after winning by 0.8 lengths at Ballarat (25.30) beating Acacia Rocket in a Mix 3/4 on March 5 five days ago. This is much harder assignment and he needs to find another gear.

Hit the ground running with a fast early sectional but found one better when runner up over 450m at this track clocking 25.33. Going well and can bounce back to winning form.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage eighth last time out over 350m at Healesville. Tested under these conditions.
