Shepparton Race 5

Grv Distance Racing (0-4 Wins)

Prize Money: $3,940

PERFECT RATIO (1) doesn't have the best strike-rate. Better run when finding the frame last time though, finishing second (35.38) at Sandown. Some good form is emerging from her last run. Top chance in this line up. THANK YOU BRIAN (2) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing seventh (43.16) in a Grade 5 at Sandown. The form out of last race has been strong. Should be in this for a long way. FAST REPLY (3) settled midfield in the run and boxed on to finish there when 4th (35.11) at The Meadows. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings five times from six starts. Has ability and is one of the better chances. CRUZADO (8) is right in the mix.

Latest effort finished 7th in a Grade 5 on July 9 over 715m at Sandown behind Ulenta Bale beaten 10 lengths (43.16). Comes out of a hot form race. Worth following up.

Missed the frame latest (35.11) when fourth over 600m at The Meadows in a Grade 4/5. Goes very well from the draw boasting five places from six starts. Expected to be in the finish.

Did a good job two starts back at Ballarat to win by half a length in 31.16, beating Bootleg Tommy. Last start finished 5th in a Grade 5 on July 16 over 515m at Sandown behind Red Hot Kermaro beaten 8 lengths (30.14). Needs to find a bit more.

Has been in the minor money the last two runs, the latest at big odds finishing third (42.47) at Sandown. Will need a little luck early from the draw. Worth including.
