Shepparton Race 9

Shepparton Workwear & Safety

Stake: $3,218

THERMAL SPARK (4) had the drop on the lead from the rails draw last start but could only manage second, beaten half a length (24.30) at Bendigo in a T3 Grade 7 over 425m. One of the contenders. AUNTIE AMBER (1) jumps from box 1 for the first time after placing latest at Bendigo (28.73) in a Mix 6/7. Can measure up. THERMAL FLAME (6) doesn't win out of turn. Hit the board with a minor placing last time when third (26.02) at Warrnambool. Expecting another good run. DEB CABANG (2) will give backers a sight.

Produced a good run, hitting the frame last run (28.73) at Bendigo in a Mix 6/7. Has first look at box 1 this time. With a clean break looks hard to beat.

Comments

Racing well without winning, recording three minors on end, the latest hitting the ground running with a fast early sectional but finishing in the minors again when second (26.33) over 460m at Geelong. Has never missed the frame in five starts from the draw. Solid prospects.

Has been in the minors the last two, the latest showing strong pace early but gathered in and finished a half a length second over 425m Bendigo in 24.30. Fought on last time. Right in the mix again.

Good performance to win by 5 lengths at Bendigo over 425m (24.66) beating Whizbang Hudson in Maiden on March 26. Be tough to make an impression against this lot.

Big odds last time but hit the ground running with a strong early split, giving a sight but fading only late to finish third (26.02) at Warrnambool over 450m. Solid formlines coming through that last run. Looks a major player.

Recorded a 0.9 lengths win (22.67) in a Maiden last time at this track. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed three times. Tough line-up and may struggle.
