Shepparton Race 8 - Ckh Painting
SUNNY STRIDE (1) missed the frame latest (22.77) when eighth over 390m at this track in a Grade 5. Has already won two times from this draw. Looks the one to beat with even luck. IVORY HAMADA (6) doesn't show much early dash but winds into his races, two back missing the frame but last time hitting the line hard to place when third (28.33) in a Grade 4/5 at Bendigo last time. Solid record here winning three races. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Hard to beat again. MARSHALL BEAR (2) was well backed last start but ran below expectations when seventh (22.98), beaten 14 lengths. Has ability and can atone. PAW VADA (3) generally performs well from this box.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when third (26.33) over 460m at Warragul. Has a decent strike-rate off the draw and is worth plenty of thought.

Had been in consistent form with four minors on end before missing the frame last start when sixth (23.32) at Warragul. Has a solid record from out wide but appears tested on latest effort.

Good performance after tracking the speed to post a big 3.5 lengths win at Warrnambool over 390m (21.95) beating Lektra Princess in Mix 3/4 on February 19. Good win last start but looks tested in this difficult assignment.
