Shepparton Race 8 - Homesanddomes.com.au
FIGURE OF SPEECH (2) has a fair record and proved too classy last time to win by a neck at this track in a handy 22.67 beating Chatter Beast. Hard to go past. KRAKEN PADDY (7) flew the lids from the middle with a slick turn of foot before finishing second (26.28) and beaten 12 lengths over 450m at this track. Can feature again. TRENTON'S EMPIRE (4) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fourth (24.37) in a Grade 5 at Bendigo. Better than last start and can bounce back. BOGAN BEND (3) can sneak into the finish with the right run.

Started big odds last time but hit the ground running with a slick early split, giving a sight but fading out of it to finish fifth (24.41) at Bendigo over 425m. Can't enthuse on this occasion.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by a neck over 390m at this track in a handy 22.67, beating Chatter Beast. Key chance on that latest effort.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Bendigo over 425m in 24.25. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when sixth over 425m at Bendigo at Bottom Up - Grade 5 level. Not far away last start. Right in the mix again.

Has finished fourth at her last couple of starts, most recently at Bendigo over 425m. Has ability and looks a winning hope.

Could only manage fifth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest at double-figure odds when third (24.68) over 425m at Bendigo. Drawn out wide and will need to find best.

Could only manage eighth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest at double-figure odds when second (27.72) over 485m at Horsham. Tough draw to overcome and appears tested on latest effort.
