Shepparton Race 8 - Ckh Painting
HONEST BEERS (5) hit the ground running from a squeeze draw and prominent early but run ended and faded to finish 5th at Sandown in Grade 5 company. Boasts two wins from four starts out of this box. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. WITCH OF NOVA (2) drew a squeeze box and was game in defeat when a close third, 2 lengths from the winner Zipping Maudie (31.07) at The Meadows. Will give a great sight again. RED CABANG (1) drew the inside and won last time at Bendigo over 425m (24.47), scoring by 1.5 lengths. Leading player again. PEAKY COLLINDA (3) cannot be left out despite racing here for the first time.

Good performance to win by 1.5 lengths at Bendigo over 425m (24.47) beating Nuclear Code in Grade 5 on July 15. Looks the one to beat again.

Had been racing in honest fashion, recording four placings in a row, before finishing fifth (24.39) at Bendigo last start. Drawn a inside box but looks a each way chance only this field.

Got back last start and could only manage sixth but before that won by 1.3 lengths at this track (25.85) beating Midnight Thunder in a Grade 5 on July 2. Can bounce back. One of the main chances.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fifth last time out over 390m at this track. Others preferred on this occasion.

Could only manage fifth last time but the start prior hit the frame when third (24.84) over 425m at Bendigo. Drawn out wide but is in the mix.
