Shepparton Race 3

Shepparton News

Prize Money: $2,535

ICE CANDY (3) hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but had to settle for a minor placing when a 8 length second over 425m at Bendigo, clocking 24.55. Nicely placed to grab a well-deserved win. SOLID GROOVE (1) has been in super consistent form, finishing in the minors at his last four runs. Last start finished 3rd over 410m at Horsham beaten 8 lengths (23.87) behind Claretown Paddy in a Maiden on May 26. Comes out of a solid form race last start. Well-placed to take this out. SHOOTERS PROJECT (7) had the drop on the lead and went on to be beaten 4.5 lengths into second (22.65) at this track in a Maiden over 390m. Expected to feature. LOVE HURTS (2) must be respected despite an unplaced effort here most recently.

Finished third last start (22.88) at big odds over 390m at this track. Squeeze draw to overcome. Looks to have the job ahead.

Has struggled to jump cleanly in recent outings and the results have been disappointing, the most recent effort a sixth over 390m at this track. Happy to risk in this.

Showed good improvement when second behind Mob Queen at this track last start over 390m (22.85). Gets back so might need a bit of luck.
