Shepparton Race 4

Ckh Painting (300+ Rank)

Prize Money: $1,530

DIVERGENCE (3) settled down midfield and held her position to the line when finishing 5th (22.83) at this track. Rates on top in this line up. PAW HARKONNEN (1) has been mixing form lately, hitting the frame two back before finishing fourth (26.07) at this track in a Maiden. Key player on best and worth another try. DODGING SHADOWS (2) has mixed form recently, finishing sixth (23.37) in a Maiden at Warragul latest but did run well two back when in the frame. This looks easier and expected to improve sharply. FIGURE OF SPEECH (5) can play a role in the finish without surprising.
