Shepparton Race 12

Two More Races To Go

Prize Money: $2,925

RHUBARB (5) turned in a better run last time to find a minor placing (22.27) at Ballarat behind Mia Coco in a Grade 5. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Winning claims. MORNING MIST (6) has a terrific record here with two wins and one placing from three starts. Below best last time at Bendigo (25.07) in a Grade 5, finishing a 17 length seventh. Can feature in the finish. PAW JUDD (3) stalked the pace from a low draw last start and fought on well to finish 1.75 lengths away in second (22.82) at Geelong in a Grade 5 over 400m. Well-placed to take this out. PAW NIALL (4) warrants respect following a recent placing in a tight finish.

Was out of placings last time (22.44) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing fourth and beaten 4.5 lengths. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed two times. Looking to others.
