Shepparton Race 4

Top Cat Video (300+ Rank)

Stake: $1,652

FRANCESCA ROSE (1) settled midfield in the run and boxed on to finish there when 5th (24.94) at Bendigo. Form from her last run is proving to be solid. Should bounce back. EWING (2) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing sixth (23.58) in a Grade 7 at this track. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Should be about the mark. JOOPER (8) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing eighth (23.85) last time in a T3 Grade 7 at Ballarat. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Great chance to atone. RIVER GEORGE (5) must be included in calculations.

Suited by inside box. Latest effort finished 5th over 425m at Bendigo beaten 4 lengths (24.94) behind Allie in a Grade 7 on July 2. Comes through a good form race. Looks a top chance.

Could only manage seventh last time but the start prior hit the frame when second (24.27) over 425m at Bendigo. Boxed out wide but is among the better hopes.
