Shepparton Race 5 - Ckh Painting (250+ Rank)
HECTIC HARRY (5) was sent out long odds last time but rocketed out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 3 length third (22.74) over 390m at this track. Must come into calculations. TWILIGHT AXLE (1) is a fast beginner who has shown good improvement at his last two starts, finishing in the money last time when 3rd at this track over 450m. Will give a great sight again. DEMONIC SPIRIT (2) has mixed form a little and missed the frame the last two but was a Grade 5 winner three back (17.14) at Healesville over 300m. Well placed here and should do much better. ASTON KATY (7) can play a role in the finish without surprising.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but ran over at the finish when a narrow fourth (23.16) over 390m at this track. Likely to struggle this time.

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but had to settle for a minor placing when a 3 length third over 390m at this track, clocking 22.74. Has the ability to take this out.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but ran over at the finish when a narrow fourth (28.82) over 500m at Bendigo. Expect improvement on the latest effort. Great chance to atone.
