Shepparton Race 5 - Ckh Painting (1-4 Wins)
MAJOR ORSON (6) has missed the frame at his last couple but wasn't beaten far three back when second (25.94) at Ballarat in a Grade 5. Meets a moderate line up and rates on top this time. CREATIVITY (1) is mixing form lately, finishing out of the placings last time at this track but was a Maiden winner two back at this track. Can improve sharply here. MASK OF ZORRO (2) is a capable type and proved too classy last time to win by half a length at this track in a handy 25.96 beating Snaps. Must be included in calculations. SCOTT ALIFEROUS (8) is not to be discarded.

Suited by inside box. Last start finished 5th on September 14 over 390m at this track behind One Sugar beaten 7 lengths (22.75) in a Mix 6/7 H. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Follow up.

Good effort to win last start by half a length over 450m at this track in a handy (25.96), beating Snaps. Has hit winning form and can go on with it.

Needs to do more than recent efforts, the latest a eighth over 500m at Bendigo. Likely to find this too tough.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fifth last time out over 450m at this track. Likely to struggle this time.

Latest effort finished last in a Grade 5 on September 16 over 500m at Bendigo behind Dare Devil beaten 21 lengths (30.07). Below best last time but looks well placed here. Deserves another chance.

Strong performance to win by 1.2 lengths at Ballarat over 390m (22.57) beating Heavenly Stun On in T3 Grade 7 on September 18. Not up to this.
