Shepparton Race 2

Elite Collars & Leads

Prize Money: $2,925

AYIA THE SLAYER (1) was favourite last start and led all the way, scoring by 3.5 lengths (22.31) at this track in a Grade 5 over 390m. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in her latest win. Sure to prove hard to beat. TROPIC MAN (7) placed three back at this track then out of the placings last couple but moves to box 7 this time where he has performed well. Can hit the frame this time. HOLTORF BALE (2) comes off an average effort last start when sixth at Geelong over 400m behind You Win (23.21) in a Grade 5. Placed at his previous run. One of the main contenders. NOLAN BALE (8) is in the mix after placing last time out.

Solid performance to win by 3.5 lengths at this track over 390m (22.31) beating Solid Ground in Grade 5 on May 15. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of the latest win.
