Shepparton Race 12

One More Race To Go

Stake: $3,510

PAW INFLAME (6) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing seventh (24.44) in a Grade 5 at Bendigo. Solid record at the distance winning five races. Comes through a solid form race last start. Should bounce back. PAW PASCAL (3) finds it hard to win. Finished in the minors latest when second (22.34) at this track and may be close to breaking through. Can feature again. PAW OPPA (1) doesn't win out of turn but recent form sound. Has hit the frame the last two runs, the latest when second (22.41) at Warrnambool. Overdue and expected to feature again. SMART AS ROSE (4) was below best last time at this track (22.55) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 8 length seventh. Has already won out of this draw.

Showed good improvement when second behind Got A Message at this track last start over 390m (22.34). Gets back so might need a bit of luck.

Has struggled to jump cleanly in recent outings and the results have been disappointing, the most recent effort a sixth over 390m at this track. Hard to have this time.

Was out of placings last time (24.23) at Bendigo in a Grade 5, finishing fourth and beaten 4.5 lengths. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed two times. Among the main chances.
