Shepparton Race 6

Stake: $3,218

FINDERS KEEPERS (4) showed little early speed at her last couple, the latest finishing fourth (25.81) in a Grade 5 at Ballarat. Has a good record here including two wins. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings four times from five attempts. Ready to return to form. NED THE KNIGHT (1) has missed the frame at his last two but did run well three back when third (20.11) in a Grade 5 at Healesville. Has the ability and can find best this time. COUNTY KILDARE (5) latest effort finished 4th on March 26 over 435m at Sale behind Petite Beast beaten 6 lengths (24.96) in a Grade 5. Looks well placed here and among the chances. GRANNIE MAY (7) cannot be overlooked following a recent top-three finish.

Didn't make the placings last time at Ballarat (25.81) in a Grade 5, finishing a 3.5 lengths fourth. Goes very well from the draw boasting four places from five starts. Looks hard to beat with even luck.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (25.87) in a Grade 5, finishing a 5 length sixth. Has two successes and four minors from seven starts from box 8. Will need some luck to feature.
