Shepparton Race 8

Grv Distance Racing

Prize Money: $3,940

JUST IN CASEY (1) is unbeaten over this distance in three starts. Hit the frame latest (44.25) when third at The Meadows in a Restricted WIN. Appeals as a leading chance in this. KING OF SNAKE (4) stalked the lead after a clean break from the tricky draw then burst clear to score (44.03) at The Meadows in a Restricted WIN over 730m. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of that last-start win. LEROY'S GIRL (2) turned spotting a big start finishing seventh (35.13) last time in a Grade 4/5 at The Meadows. Solid formlines coming through her last run. In the mix. MISTER MANFREDI (8) can play a role in the finish without surprising.

Won two starts back over 650m at this track. Last start she finished 3rd in a Restricted WIN on February 4 over 730m at The Meadows behind King Of Snake beaten 3.5 lengths (44.25). Draw likely to suit. Broke a three-start winning streak with the placing last time. Can bounce back.

Had been racing in honest fashion, recording three placings in a row, before finishing seventh (35.13) at The Meadows last start. Aided by a low draw but will need everything to go her way.

Good effort to score just five days ago over 730m at The Meadows by 3 lengths in a Restricted WIN. Expected to measure up again.

Is back up to 650m which has been an issue in the past. Last appeared when third over 500m at Bendigo three days ago. Others make more appeal.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when second (30.01) at big odds over 515m at Sandown. Boxed out wide but is worth plenty of thought.
