Shepparton Race 3

Shepparton News

Prize Money: $2,925

KRAKEN WESTERN (8) showed ability on debut filling a minor placing then got off the mark last time (22.39) at this track over 390m. Will break from a wide draw. Can continue the winning form. MISS BEC (1) has a strong record here with two wins and a minor from six starts. Missed the frame latest (23.06) when sixth over 390m at this track in a Rank Limit - Restricted Win. Looks well placed here and among the chances. ALL EDGE (6) slotted in just off the lead from the wide draw last start and boxed on to finish second (24.07) at Bendigo in a Mix 6/7 over 425m. Will give a great sight again. STAR MELI (7) cannot be overlooked following a recent top-three finish as public elect.

Missed the frame latest (23.06) when sixth over 390m at this track in a Rank Limit - Restricted Win. Starts from box 1 for the first time here. Key chance and should go close.

Resumes from a 12 weeks spell and was in the minors at only other fresh up run, finishing third over 410m at Horsham. Will not find this easy. Not keen.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 390m in 22.25. Followed that up with a minor placing over 390m at this track at Rank Limit - Restricted Win a week-and-a-half ago. Hard to tip with any confidence.

Produced a good run, hitting the frame last run (24.07) at Bendigo in a Mix 6/7. Has first look at box 6 this time. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts.

Strong performance to win by 2 lengths at this track over 390m (22.39) beating Solid Groove in Maiden on May 18. Makes plenty of appeal. Go close again.
