Shepparton Race 8 - Nagambie Gutter Cleaning
CROYDON (8) goes very well at the distance with nine wins and a placing from 12 starts. Recorded a 2.75 lengths win (24.96) in a Grade 4/5 last time at Ballarat. Expected to be in the finish. PAR EXCELLENCE (3) racing well without winning, placing at his last four runs. Last time finished 2nd in a Grade 5 on April 14 over 460m at Warragul behind Amron Sammy beaten a neck (25.91). Goes very well from this draw with two wins and two minor placings from five starts. Overdue and gets his chance. ELITE ONE (4) was in the money again last time and not beaten far when second (29.33) at Sandown in a R/A FIN. Can find the frame this time. SCOTT SIGMA (6) impressed last start, winning in good time. Worth consideration.

Impressive performance showing plenty of speed to score by 3 lengths in a Grade 5 last start at this track, clocking a slick 25.40 over the 450m trip. Harder here but warrants respect on latest.
