Shepparton Race 7

Blue Kermaro At Stud

Prize Money: $2,925

ROMANI ROAD (6) is yet to miss the placings here in an excellent record which boasts two wins. Recorded a one length win (25.73) in a Mix 6/7 last time at this track. With a clean break looks hard to beat. SCOTT SIGMA (7) goes very well this trip starting 23 times for eight wins and five minors. Was out of placings last time (25.74) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing seventh and beaten 6 lengths. Looks one of the chances. SOLID GROOVE (1) hit the frame latest (23.06) when second at Warragul in a Mix 6/7. Already a winner from this draw. Makes strong appeal on best. REV IAN (2) is new here but warrants respect.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but had to contend with second when clocking 23.06 over 400m at Warragul. Close to the speed and boxed on well at the latest run. Key chance again.

Inside draw could be an advantage. Last start finished eighth in a Grade 5 on July 24 over 500m at Bendigo behind Kid Gulla, beaten 7 lengths (28.80). Below his best last time but looks well placed here. Worth another chance.

Won two starts back at Bendigo over 425m in 24.23. Followed that up with a minor placing over 450m at this track at Grade 5 two weeks ago. Hit the frame last time but will need to improve further.

Flew the lids with a strong early split and led throughout to score an impressive win by one length over 450m at this track (25.73). Looks to have an edge on most of these.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 4th on July 20 over 390m at this track behind Dim Sim Ollie beaten 6 lengths (22.82) in a Grade 5. Placed two back at this track. Has claims on best form.
