Shepparton Race 4

Shepp City Fencing

Stake: $3,218

RIPPER RILEY (1) was game in defeat at the latest run, finishing second and beaten 1.75 lengths (23.01) behind Waterloo Boy at Geelong. Has a strong record out of this box with three wins and a minor placing from six starts. Makes plenty of appeal. SCOTT LIL DIVA (4) missed the hat-trick last start when eighth and beaten 10 lengths (22.81) last time at this track. Has a good record here including four wins. The form from her last run is stacking up nicely. Key player if finds best. PRESS START (5) missed the frame latest when sixth at Ballarat (25.85) but scored three back at Bendigo (24.40). Solid record here at the distance winning six races. One of the main contenders. MARKET BLUE (2) placed last time out so worth considering.

Won two starts back over 390m at Ballarat. Last start he finished 2nd in a Grade 4/5 on March 29 over 400m at Geelong behind Waterloo Boy beaten 1.75 lengths (23.01). Draw likely to suit. Has a very good strike-rate out of box 1, scoring three times. Go close.

Missed the frame latest (23.69) when seventh over 400m at Warragul in a Restricted WIN H. Goes well out of this box with a win and four minors. Tough line-up and may struggle.
