Shepparton Race 14 - Shepparton Race 14 (250+ Rank)
HARTLAND DUKE (8) was in the minors two back (23.46) at Geelong but ran below best last time at this track, finishing 6th. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Better than last start and worth following up. BLUE ROSES (5) stalked the pace from a low draw last start and fought on well to finish a neck away in second (22.74) at this track in a Grade 5 over 390m. The form out of her last race has been franked. Expecting another good run. BELGIUM SLICE (7) has missed the placings at her last couple but was in the money three back when third (24.43) at Bendigo in a Grade 5. This looks easier and expected to improve sharply. PAW FORRESTER (2) can play a role in the finish without surprising.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage eighth last time out over 390m at Ballarat. Can't make much of a case this time.

Could only manage fourth last time but the start prior hit the frame at double figure odds when third (23.38) over 400m at Geelong. Has a low draw and is worth plenty of thought.

Was out of placings last time (23.27) at Warrnambool in a Bottom Up - Grade 5, finishing seventh and beaten 5 lengths. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and three minors. Others rate better this time.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but bumped into one better when runner up (22.74) at this track over 390m. Boxed on well at the latest run to hit the frame. Leading player.
