Shepparton Race 9 - Elite Collars And Leads
RANSOM (7) showed good early speed last start and led throughout to win for the first time by 2.25 lengths at this track over 390m (22.52). Boxed wide here. Can measure up again. LOVE HURTS (8) looks close to another win after finishing third last time (22.76) in a T3 Grade 7 at this track. Deserves a win and gets his chance. HEAVEN ON EARTH (3) sat on speed and lifted strongly to open winning account two back, then finished a 1.3 lengths third last start at this track over 390m (22.70). Returns to the course where he won his maiden. Must include in calculations. TAKE A PANTHER (2) is one of the chances after collecting a minor prize last time.

Drawn the inside alley. Most recent effort finished last in a Grade 5 on July 28 over 400m at Wagga behind Aussie Rush beaten 13 lengths (24.08). Capable of taking this out.
