Shepparton Race 11

Gpp Laser3300 Veterans (250+ Rank)

Prize Money: $2,925

BLACK COMPASS (7) was strongly fancied last time and hit the ground running with a fast early split, paving the way for a 5 length win at this track over 390m in 22.17. Ran the fastest time on the program in his latest win. Sure to prove hard to beat. TOP PRAIRIE (2) started big odds last time but hit the ground running with a fast early split, paving the way for a 1.75 lengths win at Ballarat over 390m in 22.34. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings four times from eight attempts. Should feature again. MAXED OUT (8) last start finished last on March 3 over 450m at this track behind Gunai Wizard beaten 6 lengths (25.52) in a Grade 4/5. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts SONIC TROOPER (1) can fill a top-three spot.

Good effort to win last start by 1.5 lengths over 450m at this track in a handy (25.52), beating Big Stacks. Has claims if at his best.

Quickly out of the boxes with a slick early sectional clocking 22.34 with a 1.75 lengths win at Ballarat over 390m. Makes plenty of appeal. Go close again.
