Shepparton Race 11

Sportsbet Blackbook (300+ Rank)

Stake: $1,652

FOXY FAUN (2) has been hard to follow lately, running sixth (22.97) last time but prior to that ran very well when placed at Warrnambool. Can turn form around here. ACE REDEEMER (1) had been racing in honest fashion recording two placings in a row before finishing sixth (17.38) at Healesville latest. Form here at the trip sound including six wins. Should be about the money. MINI MINION (4) finished third (22.87) two back at Ballarat but out of the placings last time when 7th at this track. Comes through a solid form race last start. Has the ability to give this a shake. JUICE (7) is not to be discarded.

Suited by inside box. Last start finished 6th in a Grade 5 on July 11 over 300m at Healesville behind Sassy Panama beaten 2 lengths (17.38). Recorded two placings in a row prior to the latest effort. Worth another chance.

Missed the frame latest (26.42) when sixth over 450m at Ballarat in a T3 RSTW. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and two minors. Among the chances on best.

Latest effort finished 7th in a Grade 5 on July 3 over 390m at this track behind Tropic Man beaten 6 lengths (22.88). Below best last time but looks well placed here. Deserves another chance.

Returns from a three-and-a-half months break and only other fresh up run was on debut when placed over 390m at Ballarat. Didn't show up last start but give her another chance.

At the last outing finished last over 300m at Healesville beaten 8 lengths (17.65) behind Take The Edge in a Grade 5 on July 13. On best form is more than capable. Keep safe.
