Shepparton Race 13

Prize Money: $2,925

TESS CABANG (3) lines up chasing another win after scoring over 390m at this track in 22.51, set up by a fast early sectional. Form reads well for this. MEPUNGA TILLY (7) has shown good improvement at her last two starts, most recently finishing 3rd at this track over 390m. The form out of her last race has been franked. Can feature again. LIKE A BLAZE (8) filled a minor placing last start at Ballarat behind Mr. Flash (22.66) in a Grade 5. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Must be included in calculations. DESTINI LORENZO (2) scored in impressive time last start. Among the hopes.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Warragul over 400m in 23.27. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fourth over 350m at Healesville at Mix 6/7 level. Needs to find a bit more to test these.
