Shepparton Race 5

Rich River Golf Club (275+Rank)

Prize Money: AUD $1,530

SHE'S TROPIC (7) was below best last time but prior to that was narrowly beaten when fourth (22.31) in a T3 Grade 7 at this track. Better than last run and makes appeal this time. GO GO JEFF (2) was favourite last start and led all the way, scoring by 3.5 lengths (22.52) at this track in a Maiden over 390m. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in his latest win. One of main contenders. BUN WILDFIRE (1) comes into this a big winner last time in quick time, scoring by 11 lengths (24.39) at Bendigo. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Capable of going well again. GOSSIPS (8) warrants respect following a recent placing.

Could only manage fifth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest at double-figure odds when third (26.00) over 450m at Ballarat. Tricky draw to overcome and looks a each way chance only this field.

Flew the lids with a quick early split but had to settle for the minor money when third (25.84) over 450m at Ballarat. Thereabouts last couple and expected to run well.
