Shepparton Race 8 - Nagambie Gutter Cleaning

ARGYLE WHISKEY (2) sailed across from an outside draw and gave a sight, holding on for second and beaten a nose (28.60) at Bendigo in a Grade 5 over 500m. One of the contenders. CANYA IGNITE (3) has been out of the placings at his last couple but on the winners' heels when placing three back (24.44) in a Grade 5 at Bendigo. Has the ability and expected to do much better. HIGH COTTON (1) has mixed form recently, finishing fifth (28.71) in a Grade 5 at Bendigo latest but did run well two back when in the frame. Well placed here and can atone this time. SMOKIN' BILLY (7) is always hard to beat when he races at this trip.

Missed the frame latest (28.71) when fifth over 500m at Bendigo in a Grade 5. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed six times. Looks suited here and rates a leading chance.
