Shepparton News

Stake: $3,247

ASTON HANSON (8) flew the lids with a strong early split and led throughout to score an impressive win by 4 lengths over 390m at Ballarat (22.03). Winner at his latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Shapes as a top winning chance on latest effort. TIPSY TURTLE (5) is struggling to break through but racing consistently, finishing in the minors four starts on end. Last time out flew the lids with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when third (23.04) at Geelong over 400m. Racing well and deserves a win. TWO BAYS (4) comes here following a placing in slick time (22.22) over 390m at Ballarat. Rates a leading chance if runs up to latest. MARIONVALE KEV (1) was in the money last time at this track (22.35) in a Mix 6/7, finishing a 0.8 lengths second. Has already won out of this draw.

Struggling to break through but racing consistently, finishing in the minors three starts on end. Last time out flew the lids with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when second (22.35) at this track over 390m. Overdue a win and gets his chance to break through.

Flew the lids with a fast early split last time, hitting the frame with a one length second (22.51) over 390m at Ballarat and making it two placings on end. Thereabouts at his last couple and is capable of better.

Finished eighth (17.44) last start at Healesville. Prior to that had recorded three minor placings in a row. Drawn a inside box but will need a little luck to feature.

Hit the frame latest (22.22) when second at Ballarat in a Mix 6/7. Yet to win but has placed two times from this draw. Key chance and should go close.

Struggling to break through but racing consistently, finishing in the minors four starts on end. Last time out flew the lids with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when third (23.04) at Geelong over 400m. Fought on last time. Has the ability and right in the mix.

Solid performance to post a big 4 lengths win at Ballarat over 390m (22.03) beating Blackpool Lucky in Grade 7 on March 4. Some good form is emerging from that last run. Expected to prove hard to beat.

Expected Early Speed:Midfield
