Shepparton Race 2

Sportsbet Feed (300+Rank)

Stake: $1,652

MORTOLOX (1) shows ability but remains a maiden after six starts. Hit the frame again last start finishing second (22.69) at this track. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Deserves serious consideration. PINAROO FLYER (8) has an honest record despite remaining a maiden after 13 starts. Finished third (24.25) at Horsham latest but tends to run well here despite having never won. Leading player again. ORA BANDA GOLD (6) had the drop on the lead and went on to be beaten 3.5 lengths into second (25.83) at this track in a Maiden over 450m. Racing well and deserves a win. HIT THE BUTTON (5) can finish much closer after missing a cheque at this track last start.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when third (22.76) over 390m at this track. Has a squeeze box to navigate and prefer each-way.

Is a 13 start maiden overdue for a win, hitting the frame last start when third (24.25) over 410m at Horsham. In the money at the last two runs. Great chance to break through.
