URGING (2) jumped from out wide and had a clear run, crossing to the lead and holding on for a placing when third (26.24) at Shepparton in a Grade 5 over 450m. Leading chance again. AKINA CRUSADER (8) has shown good improvement at his last two starts, finishing in the money last time when 2nd at this track over 435m. Expected to be in this for a long way. SMOOTH BEAUTY (7) struggled to get involved last start after settling well back at Traralgon, but prior to that won by a neck at Ballarat (22.51) beating Major Jealous in a T3 RSTW on May 23. Comes through a solid form race last start. Key player if finds best. JUSTIFIED JIM (1) deserves plenty of thought at his first run at this circuit.

Comments

Could only manage seventh last time but the start prior hit the frame at double figure odds when third (19.56) over 350m at Healesville. Nicely drawn on the inside and is worth plenty of thought.

Working his way into winning form after his success on April 28 at Warragul over 400m. Last start was third over 450m in 26.24, behind Basement. Thereabouts at the last couple. Suited here and likely to run well.

Missed the frame latest (24.93) when fifth over 435m at this track in a Grade 5. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed four times. Others rate better this time.
