Shepparton Race 5 - Nagambie Gutter Cleaning (275+ Rank)

TRICKY RIDDLES (1) sailed across from an outside draw last start to score an all-the-way win (22.78) at Geelong in a Grade 5 over 400m. Shapes as a top winning chance on latest effort. SOKITA (6) produced a quick 23.19 winning over 400m at Mt Gambier last start in a Other. Expected to feature again. BOROUGH COOK (3) has raced below best last couple, the latest managing only 8th (20.27) last time in a Grade 5 at Healesville. Form here at this distance is strong including two wins. Has performed well from this box with a win and three minor placings to his name from five starts. Likely to be about the money. CHAIN DRIVE (7) placed last time at big odds - worth some thought.

Good effort to win last start by 0.8 lengths over 390m at this track in a handy (22.62), beating My Compass. Will find this a bit tougher, solid win last time out but this looks tough.

Didn't make the placings last time at Healesville (20.27) in a Grade 5, finishing a 8 length eighth. Goes well out of this box with a win and three minors. Among the main chances.

Surprised two starts back at this track to win by 2.5 lengths in 22.45, beating Urana Whirlwind. Last start finished 4th in a Grade 5 on July 29 over 400m at Geelong behind Kaluna Chaos beaten 4.5 lengths (22.92). Happy to risk this time.

Consistent performer who is new here. Nice win last start easily by 6 lengths at Mt Gambier (23.19) beating Time To Burn in a Other on June 19. Can make it two on the bounce.

Big odds last time but hit the ground running with a strong early split, giving a sight but fading only late to finish second (24.25) at Bendigo over 425m. Holds top-three claims.
