Shepparton Race 6 - Racers Function Centre
ESSENCE (3) boasts a strong record this course with three wins and two minors from nine tries. Below best last time at this track (26.47) in a Grade 5, finishing a 10 length eighth. With a clean break looks hard to beat. PAW ZENITH (1) drew an outside box and was game in defeat when only a neck from the winner Paw Quebec in second(25.76) at this track. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings two times from four starts. Well-placed to take this out. BLACK MARVEL (8) jumped cleanly from the low draw last start to lead all the way (22.30) at this track in a Grade 4/5 over 390m. Has hit winning form and can measure up again. SLAY QUEEN MOLLY (7) is in the mix despite missing out at this track last time.

Looks close to another win after his success on May 5 at Warragul over 460m. Last start was second over 450m in 25.76, behind Paw Quebec. Yet to win but has been in the money two times from four starts off this draw. Right in the mix.

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 sixth (24.69) at Bendigo over 425m. Major threat on best form.

Last start finished last in a Grade 5 on May 18 over 450m at this track behind Paw Quebec beaten 10 lengths (26.47). Capable of improvement on latest effort. Well placed and should feature.

Could manage only fifth last time but turned heads the start prior when she recorded a sharp 28.28 over 500m finishing third at Bendigo. Can sneak a place again.

Ordinary effort last start when he got back too far over 410m at Horsham. Prior to that won by 2 lengths at Horsham (23.18) beating Midnight Jed in a Mix 6/7 H on May 12. Racing well and has to be included.
