Shepparton Race 12

Two More Races To Go

Stake: $3,568

MAN OF COURAGE (1) beaten last start over the 390m at this track but finished in the minors in a strong 22.17. Expected to feature again. SNOOZY DONUT (6) missed the frame latest when eighth at Ballarat (22.74) but scored three back at this track (22.16). Solid record here at the distance winning two races. Has ability and can measure up. PAW MURBELLA (2) is very honest and looms as a strong top-three hope again.

Hit the ground running with a fast early sectional but found one better when runner up over 390m at this track clocking 22.17. Speedy conveyance who looks hard to beat.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when second (24.03) over 425m at Bendigo. Boxed awkwardly and will need to find best.

Did a good job two starts back at Horsham to win by 1.3 lengths in 23.51, beating Aston Saturn. Last start finished last over 410m at Horsham beaten 11 lengths (23.91) behind Springer's Boy in a Grade 5 on April 28. On best form is more than capable. Keep safe.
