Gosford Race 12 - Staff Appreciation
PAPER SHREDDER (4) has shown good improvement at his last two starts, hitting the frame latest when 2nd at The Gardens over 400m. Good form should continue. BRAVE CHOICE (6) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing seventh (23.44) in a Grade 3/4 at The Gardens. Form here sound including eight wins. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings 10 times from 16 starts. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. TIP TOP TIGER (1) did a good job to finish third last time out over 388m at this track (22.72) in a Grade 4/5, the second top-three finish on the trot. Rates a winning chance on best. MY MOON SHADOW (2) is a last-start placegetter as public elect - worth considering.

Form has been solid with minor placings at his last three starts. Last time out finished 2nd on June 9 over 388m at this track behind Trunkey Chief beaten 4 lengths (22.43) in a Mix 2/3. Can't recommend him in this.
