Shepparton Race 8

Nagambie Gutter Cleaning (300+ Rank)

Stake: $1,836

LOLLY CAKE (4) has mixed form recently, finishing sixth (26.43) in a Grade 5 at this track latest but did run well two back when in the frame. Better than last run and makes appeal this time. BUSTER BOURBSKI (3) stalked lead from an outside box last start before finishing third (25.91) at this track in a Grade 5 over 450m. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and two minor placings to his credit. Bold showing expected. SPICY SEDUCTION (1) is suited by the inside draw. Latest effort finished last in a Grade 5 on August 2 over 350m at Healesville behind Especial Hugo beaten 5.5 lengths (19.71). Suited here and expected to run well. VALLETTA PEARL (2) can play a role in the finish without surprising.
