Shepparton Race 7

Shepparton Workwear And Safety (300+)

Stake: $1,652

FRANK GRIMES (8) has been in super consistent form recently with two minors on end before missing the frame latest finishing sixth (19.90) at Healesville. Form here sound including four wins. Has ability and can bounce back. BOULDER DASH (2) has mixed form recently, finishing seventh (26.38) in a Grade 5 at Ballarat latest but did run well two back when in the frame. Expected to do much better this time. TWILIGHT AXLE (6) jumped wide and had a clear run last start, leading all the way to score (22.65) at this track in a T3 Grade 6 over 390m. Looks a key chance if runs up to latest figure. MARINO (1) is worth including.

Latest effort finished 7th over 450m at Ballarat beaten 5.5 lengths (26.38) behind Bern's Banjo in a Grade 5 on July 8. More than capable and well placed to find her best form.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fifth last time out over 425m at Bendigo. Would be better placed in something easier.

Flew the lids with a strong early split and led throughout to score an impressive win by 1.75 lengths over 390m at this track (22.65). Can only be further improved and expected to measure up again.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (26.07) in a Grade 5, finishing a 5.5 lengths fifth. Goes well out of this box with a win and three minors. Among the chances on best.
