Shepparton Race 6

Sportsbet Final

Stake: $3,730

SOLAR SPECTRUM (4) was game in defeat at the latest run, finishing second and beaten 1.5 lengths (25.07) behind PAW ZELINI at this track. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Leading chance again. PAW ZELINI (6) comes off a (24.99) win last time, scoring by 1.5 lengths in a Grade 5 H over 450m at this track. Has already won two times from this draw. Can feature with the right run. NIGEL DEVERE (5) recorded his 4th career win last time at this track, scoring by one length (25.07). Ran one of the fastest times on the program in his latest win. Can go close again if runs up to latest figure. FLYING CURRENCY (2) is in the mix after placing here at this trip last time out.

Comments

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, grabbed late but holding on to a placing when a 1.3 lengths third (25.33) over 450m at this track. Looks a solid hope.

Comments

Racing well without winning, recording three minors on end, the latest hitting the ground running with a fast early sectional but finishing in the minors again when second (25.07) over 450m at this track. Close to the speed and boxed on well at the latest run. Key chance again.

Strong performance to win by 1.5 lengths at this track over 450m (24.99) beating Solar Spectrum in Grade 5 H on March 3. Has run very fast time at this course and distance. Go close on her best form.

Comments

Finished in the minors last time but the start prior was an eye-catching winner after tracking the speed, scoring by a head in a Grade 4/5 at Ballarat and clocking a slick 25.33 over the 450m trip. This tougher and prefer for a place this time.

Dual acceptor. Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Ballarat over 390m in 22.11. Followed that up with a minor placing over 450m at this track at Grade 5 H a week ago. Not one of the leading chances on this occasion.
