Shepparton Race 12 - Two More Races To Go

FIGURE OF SPEECH (4) took the sit on the lead from an outside box but levelled up and drew clear to score (22.34) at this track in Grade 4/5 over 390m. Winner at her latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Can make it two on the bounce. CHALK AND CHEESE (8) produced a modest effort most recently when sixth at Warragul over 400m behind Blessed Rain (23.05) in a Free For All. Was in the money prior to that. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings five times from nine attempts. Key runner on best form. PAW BASTOW (6) hit the ground running and on speed early but faded out of it to finish fourth (22.46) at this track over 390m. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings two times from four attempts. Can figure in the finish. MIRACLE MAN (2) is likely to have admirers.
