Shepparton Race 5 - Great Chase Ht1 (1-5 Wins)
HIGHLY POTENT (5) comes here off a placing in good time (25.23) over 450m at this track when beaten 1.75 lengths in a Restricted WIN H. Has the ability and expected to go close again. SOFT BEAUTY (1) was resuming when finishing fourth at Geelong in a Grade 5 (26.30). Will strip fitter for the run. Has won two of four starts from this draw. Has ability and can measure up. THAT AWAY (2) goes very well over this trip including two wins. Scored by 1.5 lengths last time (19.75) in a Mix 6/7 over 350m at Healesville. With even luck and a clean start should be around the money. RIPPER RAE (4) has claims fresh from a recent placing as favourite.

Suited by inside box. Latest effort finished 4th in a Grade 5 on September 25 over 460m at Geelong behind Bold Thruster beaten 5.5 lengths (26.30). Rates highly and looks tough to beat.

Has won three in a row. Good effort to score just five days ago over 350m at Healesville by 1.5 lengths in a Mix 6/7. In sparkling form and can win again.

Struggling to break through but racing consistently, finishing in the minors four starts on end. Last time out flew the lids with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when third (24.09) at Bendigo over 425m. Coming out of a very strong form race. Can feature with the right run.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage eighth last time out over 450m at this track. Hard to have this time.

Missed the frame last time but finished in the minors two back when third (16.91) over 300m at Healesville. Boxed out wide but capable of a better result.

Was in a purple patch of form before proving a little disappointing last start, finishing fifth at Bendigo over 425m. Would be better placed in something easier.
