Shepparton Race 4 - Happy Birthday Annabelle (250+ Rank)

PELICAN'S SUNDAY (7) finished fifth last time but the start prior broke the clock when winning over 390m at this track, taking a Grade 5 in a swift 22.23. Rates on top and can find winning form again. SURGING (2) put in a much better performance last start when in the placings at Bendigo behind No Bad Deed (24.42) in a Grade 5. Settled off speed and worked to the line nicely. Expected to feature again. FIGURE OF SPEECH (1) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fourth (22.53) last time in a Grade 5 at this track. Form from her last run is proving strong. Can measure up this time. JAICOS (4) was out of the money at this circuit last start but can bounce back.

Placed last time (24.42) at Bendigo in a Grade 5, finishing third and beaten 6 lengths. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed two times. Has ability and looks a key chance.

Could only manage sixth last time but had been in the money the two starts prior, most recently at double figure odds when a narrow second (22.85) over 400m at Geelong. Has a low draw but looks safely held.

Was sent out long odds last time but charged out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 3.5 lengths fourth (23.14) over 400m at Geelong. Prepared to just watch this time.
