Shepparton Race 11

Shepp City Fencing (250+Rank)

Stake: $1,652

TIPSY TURTLE (4) flew the lids from out wide with an impressive turn of foot before finishing third (22.27) and beaten 4 lengths over 390m at Warrnambool. Expected to feature in the finish again. SASSY SPICE (7) missed the frame last time out when eighth at Warragul from Box eight (23.28) but draws same box here as latest win. Has a good record here at this journey. Some good form is emerging from her last run. Worth following up. AYIA THE SLAYER (6) comes off an average effort last start when seventh at this track over 390m behind Urana Panda (22.84) in a Grade 4/5. Should be thereabouts. TAKE NOTICE (2) will be hard to beat despite making his debut at this circuit.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Ballarat over 390m in 22.43. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when sixth over 390m at this track at Grade 5 level. Happy enough to avoid.

Started big odds last time but hit the ground running with a slick early split, giving a sight but fading out of it to finish fifth (19.48) at Healesville over 350m. Capable of taking this out.

Comments

Flew the lids with a fast early split last time, hitting the frame with a 4 length third (22.27) over 390m at Warrnambool and making it two placings on end. Has been racing well. Well placed here and looks a leading contender.

Most recent effort finished last on April 24 over 390m at this track behind Urana Panda beaten 10 lengths (22.84) in a Grade 4/5. Forgive the latest run. Has solid claims on her best form.

Good effort to win last start by 3.5 lengths over 390m at this track in a handy (22.23), beating Our Mate Bear. Will find this a bit tougher, prepared to risk this time.
