Shepparton Race 5 - Sportsbet Ht1
CAROL RAIN (4) stalked the lead from the inside draw before finishing second last start (25.22) at Ballarat in Grade 5 over 450m. Makes plenty of appeal. PAW MONET (5) boasts a strong record this journey with four wins and four minors from 12 tries. Scored by a long neck last time (25.88) in a Grade 5 FIN over 460m at Warragul. Looks well placed here and among the chances. WHODAT JEWEL (6) scored well last start as odds-on favourite by 1.5 lengths at Warragul in a handy 25.94 beating Not Our Fault. Jumping from the pinch draw but has a good record over this journey. Can make it back-to-back wins. SOLITARY FLICKER (2) will need to run right up to last start to feature again.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when third (22.40) over 390m at this track. Drawn close to the inside. Has to do a bit more.

Impressive performance racing just off the speed and going on to score by a long neck in a Grade 5 FIN last start at Warragul, recording a swift 25.88 over the 460m journey. Can measure up again if runs up to that effort.
