Grv Distance Racing

Prize Money: $3,940

SHADE OF PALE (1) has been in super consistent form recently with two minors on end before missing the frame latest finishing fourth (38.05) at Bendigo. Form at the trip sound including two wins. Key runner on his best form. BLUE MOON MARIE (4) is a capable type and proved too classy last time to win by 4 lengths at Mt Gambier in a handy 34.83 beating Aston Sushi. Form from her last run is proving to be solid. In top form and looks a key chance again. BINDY BLAZER (5) turned in a better effort at this track last start, finishing second behind Reiko Comet (25.79) in a Rank Limit - Grade 5. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Can measure up. BIG BOY JETT (8) is a last start winner who rates one of the chances again.

Latest effort finished 4th over 660m at Bendigo beaten 5.5 lengths (38.05) behind House Of Sins in a Mix 4/5 FIN on October 2. Had been in strong form, hitting the frame two times on end, before the latest effort. Can atone.

Was out of placings last time (31.26) at Ballarat in a Grade 4/5, finishing fifth and beaten 8 lengths. Goes very well from the draw boasting three victories and two places from eight starts. Tough line-up and may struggle.

Impressive performance tracking the speed and going on to post a big 4 lengths victory in a Grade 5/6 last start at Mt Gambier, clocking an excellent 34.83 for the 600m trip. Rates a top chance again if runs up to latest.
