Shepparton Race 6 - Elite Collars And Leads
CONTRADICTION (8) made light work of a wide draw last time with a slick early sectional but gathered in and had to settle for the minors, finishing third (25.33) at Ballarat over 450m. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Sure to be about the mark. BONNIE BLITZ (1) is a talented type and proved too classy last time to win by one length at Horsham in a handy 23.42 beating Doongalla Jessie. Comes through a solid form race last start. Has hit winning form and can go on with it. IDYLLIC JAMES (3) is a capable type and proved too classy last time to win by 1.5 lengths at Warragul in a handy 22.53 beating Mr. Kia Ora. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Has hit winning form and can go on with it. PAW ELODEE (2) can play a role in the finish without surprising.

Showed strong early pace and proved too slick around Horsham over 410m in 23.42, claiming a Grade 5 by one length. Can make it back to back wins.

Goes well at this track and trip. Latest effort finished last in a Free For All on March 28 over 525m at The Meadows behind Paw Matic beaten 10 lengths (30.70). Expect improvement on the latest effort. Great chance to atone.

Surprised two starts back at Horsham to win by 1.75 lengths in 23.40, beating Black Statesman. Last start finished 6th over 435m at Sale beaten 7 lengths (25.03) behind Minter Scorch in a Grade 4 on March 29. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.
