Shepparton Race 14 - Shepparton Race 14
GOLD HARADA (4) had a tricky draw last time and although midfield in fourth wasn't far away finishing 5 lengths from the winner (22.41). Form here at the trip sound including three wins. Comes out of a solid form race last start. Should bounce back. HOOKED ON GIN (2) stalked the lead from a low draw and fought on well to finish 5 lengths back in third (28.55) at Bendigo in a Bottom Up - Grade 5 over 500m. Winning chance. PAW VARNER (1) was responsible for a modest effort most recently when seventh at Bendigo over 425m behind Fluent Action (24.89) in a Grade 5. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. PAW RAZOR (5) was in the money again last time and not beaten far when second (22.23) at Ballarat in a Grade 5.

Charged out of the boxes with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when third (28.55) at Bendigo over 500m. Should prove hard to beat.

Good effort to win last start by 1.3 lengths over 390m at this track in a handy (22.50), beating Blues Train. Will find this a bit tougher, doesn't profile as a likely winner.

Has hit the frame the last two starts, the latest at double figure odds when second (22.23) over 390m at Ballarat. Awkward draw to overcome. Cannot be ruled out.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage seventh last time out over 390m at this track. Prepared to risk on this occasion.
