Shepparton Race 8 - Gvshelving.com.au
HATARI (8) is a consistent type who is new to this track. Strong winner last time by 4 lengths at Ballarat in Grade 4/5 in the quickest time on the program (25.06). Comes through a solid form race last start. Expected to be right there at the finish again. SHE LIKES BEER (1) stalked the pace from a low draw last start and fought on well to finish 0.8 lengths away in second (25.22) at this track in a Grade 4/5 over 450m. Form from her last run is proving to be solid. Expected to feature again. NEEDFUL (2) has an excellent record over this course and distance having never missed the placings in five starts, including two wins and three placings. Missed the frame latest (23.71) when sixth over 410m at Horsham in a Grade 5. Can hit the frame with the right run. FLAMING SMOOTH (4) has strong claims after a top-three finish last time out.

Hit the frame last time at this track but the start prior was an impressive winner after leading throughout, scoring by 3.5 lengths in a Grade 5 at Ballarat and recording a flying 21.99 over the 390m journey. Rates on top and can find winning form again.

Has been in the minor money the last two runs, the latest finishing second (24.07) at Bendigo. Awkward draw to overcome. One of the better hopes.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Bendigo over 500m in 28.32. Followed that up with a minor placing over 450m at this track at Grade 5 a week-and-a-half ago. Hard to entertain this time.

Was out of placings last time (20.02) at Healesville in a Grade 5, finishing fifth and beaten 6 lengths. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and three places from seven starts. Looks a place chance at best.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but ran over at the finish when a narrow sixth (28.58) over 500m at Bendigo. Can't recommend against this lot.

Consistent performer who is new here. Nice win last start easily by 4 lengths at Ballarat (25.06) beating Chattanooga in a Grade 4/5 on March 19. Ran the fastest time on the program in that last win. Follow up.
