Shepparton Race 2

Shepparton News (1-2 Wins)

Prize Money: $1,530

TELL ME LIES (7) turned in a plain run last time when sixth at Geelong over 400m behind Aston Borealis (23.09) in a Rank Limit - Grade 6. The form out of her last race has been franked. Has winning claims on her best figures. KRAKEN ZACK (5) is a capable type and proved too classy last time to win by 5 lengths at this track in a handy 22.65 beating Shadow Road. Can measure up again. ASTON PLATINUM (4) opened her account last time out by 0.9 lengths at this track over 390m (23.05). Expected to feature again. ASTON MERRICK (8) gets a chance to redeem an unplaced effort here last start.

Was out of placings last time (23.09) at Geelong in a Rank Limit - Grade 6, finishing sixth and beaten 7 lengths. Goes well out of this box with a win and three minors. Key chance and should go close.
