Shepparton Race 14

Stake: $3,568

HAILEY'S JET (6) was in the money again last time and not beaten far when second (22.26) at this track in a Bottom Up - Grade 5. Key player on best and expected to bounce back. FURY'S RAGE (7) was midfield throughout and finished there last time when 5th (22.67) at this track. Must be included in calculations. BLUES TRAIN (2) was a winner two back but last start drifted back and wound up strongly to finish a 1.5 lengths third at this track (22.47). Form from his last run is proving strong. Leading chance. HOOKED ON GIN (1) racing over this course and distance brings the best out in him.

Flew the lids with a strong early split and led throughout to score an impressive win by 3.5 lengths over 425m at Bendigo (24.24). Ran one of the fastest times on the program in his latest win. Stay with him.

Flew the lids with a quick early split but had to settle for the minor money when third (22.47) over 390m at this track. Coming out of a very strong form race. Expected to go well.

Returns from a three-and-a-half months break and only other fresh up run was on debut when placed at big odds over 425m at Bendigo. Can't make much of a case this time.

Good effort to win last start by a neck over 390m at this track in a handy (22.39), beating Hailey's Jet. Has ability and among the chances.

Snuck into the minor money last time when a 2 length second at this track but did record a respectable 22.26 over the 390m journey. Rates a top chance with a repeat here.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 5th over 390m at this track beaten 4 lengths (22.67) behind Paw Maud in a Grade 5 on April 23. Placed two back at this track. Has run blistering time here with a 22 PB at the distance. Hard to beat.

Expected Early Speed:Midfield
