Shepparton Race 13

Stake: $3,218

FROG MARCH (2) has shown good improvement at his last two starts, most recently finishing 3rd at Healesville over 350m. Sure to be about the mark. CAPTAIN STEVIE (6) did a good job to finish third last time out over 390m at Warrnambool (22.38) in a Grade 5, the second top-three finish on the trot. Expecting significant improvement this line-up. BURN ALONG (1) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing sixth (22.88) last time in a Free For All at Warragul. Solid winning record at this trip. The form out of last race has been strong. One of the main contenders. MAKE THE CUT (5) is always hard to beat when she races at this trip.

Didn't make the placings last time at Warragul (22.88) in a Free For All, finishing a 6 length sixth. Yet to win but has placed four times from this draw. Looks a leading chance.

Comments

Big odds last time but hit the ground running with a strong early split, giving a sight but fading only late to finish third (19.30) at Healesville over 350m. Has been around the mark at his last couple and should make his presence felt.

Good effort to win last start by a neck over 400m at Geelong in a handy (22.76), beating Sicily. Will find this a bit tougher, not likely to feature on this occasion.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Bendigo over 425m in 24.23. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when seventh over 425m at Bendigo at Grade 4/5 level. Has claims on best form.

Good effort to win last start by 6 lengths over 350m at Healesville in a handy (19.38), beating Delatite Beast. Will find this a bit tougher, other runners look much more appealing.
