Shepparton Race 9

Sportsbet Feed (2-3 Wins) (275+ Rank)

Stake: $1,668

SIMPLY NED (3) is better than last start when sixth (23.06) in a Mix 6/7 at this track over 390m. Better than the latest effort and deserves another chance. UNCLE ERNEST (7) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing seventh (23.07) in a Grade 5 at Ballarat. Solid formlines coming through his last run. Cannot be taken lightly. SHE'S OUR ART (6) was game in defeat at the latest run, finishing third and beaten 1.3 lengths (22.98) behind Hulk King Hammer at Geelong. Form from her last run is proving strong. Likely to be in the finish again. BONDED (4) can sneak into the finish with the right run.

Didn't complete the course last start. Reasonable effort the start before when third over 400m at Warragul. Needs to find a bit more to test these.

Has been in the minor money the last two runs, the latest finishing second (22.89) at this track. Has a low draw. Prefer others.

At the last start finished last on July 30 over 425m at Bendigo behind Unleash Cripps beaten 14 lengths (25.26) in a T3 Grade 6. On best form is more than capable. Keep safe.

Comments

Sent out long odds last time but rocketed out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 1.3 lengths third (22.98) over 400m at Geelong. Strong form emerging from the last run. Looks one of the chances.
