Shepparton Race 4

Shepparton Race 4 (250+ Rank)

Stake: $1,698

AUSSIE SAVANNAH (6) hit the ground running from out wide with a fast early sectional but run over late and missed the frame when a 0.8 lengths fourth (19.72) over 350m at Healesville. Has ability and is a key runner. HARTLAND DUKE (5) has been hard to follow lately, running fourth (22.91) last time but prior to that ran very well when placed at this track. Expecting significant improvement this line-up. MAJOR BASIL (1) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing fifth (22.77) in a Grade 5 at this track. Should play a prominent role. WE ARE SOUTH (2) can sneak into the finish again.

Suited by inside box. Latest effort finished 5th over 390m at this track beaten 5 lengths (22.77) behind Tonic's Girl in a Grade 5 on September 11. Looks well placed and should prove hard to beat.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but swamped late when a close up fourth (19.72) at Healesville over 350m. Should prove hard to beat.
