Shepparton Race 2

Elite Collars & Leads (250+Rank)

Stake: $1,652

NOAH DEAR (2) rocketed out of the boxes with a sizzling early split and led for much of the way before being grabbed late, finishing a 2.75 lengths second at Warragul over 400m in 23.17. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings three times from six attempts. Makes plenty of appeal. ASTON FINNISS (3) showed good early speed but faded to a close 4th place finish (25.99) at Ballarat over 450m. Key runner on best form. UNCLE ERNEST (1) turned in a plain run last time when eighth at this track over 390m behind Alston (22.74) in a Mix 6/7. Scored at his previous run. Some good form is emerging from his last run. Has the ability to give this a shake. CANDLES (6) is in the mix after placing here at this trip last time out.

Won over this track and trip. Latest effort finished last over 390m at this track beaten 13 lengths (22.74) behind Alston in a Mix 6/7 on April 21. Some good form is emerging from that last run. Expected to prove hard to beat.

Placed last time (23.17) at Warragul in a T3 Grade 7, finishing second and beaten 2.75 lengths. Yet to win but has placed three times from this draw. Looks suited and should go close.

Was out of placings last time when fourth (25.99) at Ballarat in a Restricted WIN. Will jump from box 3 for the first time. With a clean break looks hard to beat.

Hit the ground running with a fast early sectional but found one better when runner up over 390m at this track clocking 22.45. In the money last time and looks well placed. Can go one better.

Looks close to another win after claiming her maiden success on February 22 at this track over 390m. Last start was fifth over 390m in 23.06, behind Ultimate Rocket. Not far away last start. Right in the mix again.
