Shepparton Race 10

Sportsbet Final

Prize Money: $3,360

ASKERN VIOLET (2) is a handy dog who jumped from box 2 last time out and scored by 2.25 lengths at this track (21.82). The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Can continue on with her winning form. FLYING MAVERICK (6) jumped wide and had a clear run last start, leading all the way to score (21.82) at this track in a Grade 5 H over 390m. Won at his only start from this draw. Hard to fault his form and he makes plenty of appeal. SWEET I AM (1) turned in a big run last time despite being beaten, finishing third in a Grade 5 H behind ASKERN VIOLET in a flying 22.02 and clocking a new PB. Has the ability and looks a key chance. ASTON MORENO (4) has strong claims after a top-three finish at this track and distance last time out.

Snuck into the minor money last time when a 3 length third at this track but did record an excellent 22.02 for the 390m trip. Has the ability and looks hard to top.

Jumped well at Ballarat two runs back then again settled forward and finished second at this track last start over 390m. Looks a solid contender.

Won his last two including a strong win last start over 390m at this track by 4.5 lengths in a Grade 5 H. Has run very fast time at this course and distance. Go close on his best form.

Showed strong pace early but found one better when a 3.5 lengths second over 390m this track in 22.37. In form and another win would not surprise.
