Shepparton Race 6

Shepparton News

Stake: $1,867

UTAH ICON (8) was below best at his last couple, the latest finishing fifth at this track, but was among the placings at this track three back. Can make amends this time. NEW SHERIFF (4) produced a moderate effort last time when eighth at Bendigo over 425m behind Paw Oppa (24.82) in a Grade 5. Goes very well from this draw with two wins and two minor placings from four starts. Leading chance. KRAKEN CHIEF (5) boasts a strong record this course with six wins and two minors from 16 tries. Missed the frame latest (26.20) when fifth over 450m at this track in a Grade 5. Can feature with the right run.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 5th in a Grade 5 on July 2 over 450m at this track behind Paw Eden beaten 2.5 lengths (26.20). Placed two back at Bendigo. Key chance on best form.
