Shepparton Race 8

Shepp City Fencing (300+ Rank)

Prize Money: $1,530

RECONSTRUCTION (3) placed two back then broke his maiden status by 2.5 lengths (25.61) at this track over 450m. Rates to win again. TWILIGHT AXLE (7) was a winner two back when prominent throughout then got further back last time and could manage only a 13 length 8th at this track (23.51). The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Expected to feature in the finish. MAGIC MOON BEAM (2) was narrowly beaten when placing two back but missed the frame latest finishing fourth (26.19) in a T3 RSTW at this track. Can hit the frame this time. BEAR IT IS (4) missed the placings here last start but is well-placed to turn the form around.

Improved sharply when third behind Paw Munich at this track last start over 390m (22.81). Made up good ground from the back and will be strong late again. Has to be included.

Missed the frame latest (26.25) when sixth over 450m at this track in a T3 RSTW. Still a maiden from this draw but has never missed the frame from two starts. Looks one of the chances.

Surprised two starts back at Bendigo to win by one length in 24.38, beating Spice Road. Last start finished 6th in a T3 Grade 7 on March 6 over 390m at this track behind Impress Bugsy beaten 11 lengths (22.71). Likely to find this too tough.
