Shepparton Race 4

Prize Money: $2,925

PAW YUSAMI (1) will take beating coming off a handy 22.96 win at Wagga over 400m. Rates a top chance again if runs up to latest. COMPARE BUBBLE (8) used the inside draw to advantage last time and hit the ground running with a fast early split, paving the way for a neck win at Horsham over 410m in 23.44. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Sure to be thereabouts. POETIC STAR (7) racing well without winning, placing at his last six runs. Last time finished 3rd on March 16 over 390m at this track behind On The River beaten 6 lengths (22.86) in a Mix 6/7. The form from his last run stacks up well. Overdue and expected to feature again. FREE STATE (3) can sneak into the finish.

Eye-catching performance to post a big 4.5 lengths victory in a Grade 5 last start at Wagga, recording a slick 22.96 over the 400m journey. Has the ability and expected to go close again.

Hasn't threatened at her last couple but she has solid credentials over this track and distance. Major threat on best form.

Placed last time (22.46) at Ballarat in a Mix 6/7, finishing third and beaten 4 lengths. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed two times. Looks a place chance at best.

Struggling to break through but racing consistently, finishing in the minors six starts on end. Last time out flew the lids with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when third (22.86) at this track over 390m. Thereabouts at the last couple. Suited here and likely to run well.

Good effort to score just six days ago over 410m at Horsham by a neck in a Maiden. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Follow up.

Comments

Flew the lids with a fast early split but ran over at the finish when a narrow fourth (25.89) over 450m at this track. Has ability and looks a winning hope.
