Ckh Painting Shepparton Cup Ht2

Prize Money: $7,325

DRAMATICAL (3) shapes well for this after a dazzling last start success, getting around The Meadows over 525m in 29.57. In form and rates on top again. DEWANA STAR (1) is yet to be beaten here, scoring four wins from as many starts. In the money last time at Healesville (16.39) in a Special conditions race, finishing a neck second. Can hit the frame with the right run. BLESSED RAIN (4) won comfortably last time scoring by 9 lengths at this track after jumping from box 4 (21.59). Has the squeeze box to overcome and will need the breaks early. One of the prime contenders. TRIBECA (8) missed the frame latest (25.61) when eighth over 450m at Ballarat in a Special conditions G2. Boasts a top strike-rate from this draw, winning three of five runs.

Won two starts back over 300m at Healesville. Last start he finished 2nd over 300m at Healesville beaten a neck (16.39) behind Michigan in a Special conditions race on March 8. Draw likely to suit. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Pay to follow.

Found the going tougher last start when second over 485m at Horsham. That followed a win two back in 29.44 beating Katie Bell over 515m at Sandown. Happy to risk this time.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 9 lengths over 390m at this track in a handy 21.59, beating Paw Bastow. Some good form emerging from that last run. Among the chances.
