Shepparton Race 8

Nagambie Gutter Cleaning

Prize Money: $3,360

PAW FABLE (4) goes very well this trip starting 14 times for five wins and six minors. Hit the frame latest (29.99) when third at Sandown in a Grade 5. Looks well placed and should feature. PAW WELKES (7) is a capable type and proved too strong last time to win by 1.5 lengths at Warragul in a handy 26.13 beating Full Noise. Can measure up again. UNIQUE STAR (6) recorded a win over 457m at Temora in a blistering 25.54 last start. Should be in this for a long way. MANAGER (1) can sneak into the finish while fresh.

Was well fancied last time over 500m at Bendigo but fell and given a 11 weeks spell since. Should be in this for a long way.

Form has been strong, including a victory two starts back. Last time out finished 2nd over 515m at Sandown beaten a neck (30.09) behind Billy Ray Mikado in a Grade 5 on March 30. In the money last time but has the job ahead.

Charged out of the boxes with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when third (29.99) at Sandown over 515m. Yet to be beaten in three starts out of this draw. Sure to go well.

Good effort to win last start by a neck over 457m at Temora in a handy (25.54), beating Master Mcgraw. In winning form and must be included.

Hit the ground running last time with a fast early split and never headed, leading throughout to win by 1.5 lengths (26.13) over 460m at Warragul. Can make it back to back wins.
