Shepparton Race 3

Battle Of The Coral Sea

Prize Money: $2,925

NICKY'S SECRET (8) won by a space two back then gave a start but got home into the frame when third at Horsham (23.78) last time. Capable of going well again. CANDLES (2) has mixed form recently, finishing fourth (23.31) in a Mix 6/7 FIN at Geelong latest but did run well two back when in the frame. Can improve sharply here. STARTING OUT (1) is better than last start when seventh (24.76) from Box 6 at Bendigo over 425m. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Worth another chance. RUNWAY DIVA (3) was a shock winner last start and cannot be ruled out.

Suited by inside box. Latest effort finished last in a Restricted WIN H on April 11 over 425m at Bendigo behind Prison Break beaten 11 lengths (24.76). Tipped to improve sharply. Rates highly on best form.
