Shepparton Race 5 - Ckh Painting (300+Rank)
GOT A MESSAGE (3) has shown good improvement at her last two starts, rewarded with a win last time at Wagga over 320m. Has hit winning form and can go on with it. COSMIC REWARD (7) flew the lids with a fast early split last time, hitting the frame with a nose second (22.20) over 390m at this track and making it two placings on end. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Can measure up. SUNSHINE NORTH (2) is worth forgiving last start after finishing fifth (23.07) from Box 3 at Geelong over 400m. Solid formlines coming through his last run. Should be in this for a long way. LIKE A BLAZE (1) hasn't been far away, finishing in the money twice in a row including last time in a Grade 5 at Ballarat over 390m.

Well supported last time and gave a sight after a fast early split but could manage only the minor money, finishing a nose second (22.20) over 390m at this track. Has an excellent 21.98 best time at this course and distance. Big chance.
