Shepparton Race 14

Prize Money: $2,925

BELGIUM SLICE (1) made it two minor placings on the trot when beaten second (22.93) in a Bottom Up - Grade 5 at this track last time out. Better than latest and can atone here. SMILING BEE (7) has shown good improvement at her last two starts, finishing in the money last time when 3rd at this track over 390m. Must be included in calculations. SUNSHINE NORTH (5) missed the frame and was safely held latest finishing 7th at this track following on from a second place finish (24.61) at Bendigo the start prior. Form here at the trip sound including two wins. Should be about the mark. SOCKS AND SLIDES (3) is always a threat when she draws this box.

Hit the frame latest (22.93) when second at this track in a Bottom Up - Grade 5. Goes well out of this box with a win and four minors. Looks suited and should go close.

Could only manage fourth last time but the start prior hit the frame when third (19.89) over 350m at Healesville. Has a solid record off the draw and can measure up.
