Shepparton Race 5 - Tony Duncan Memorial
SUNNY STRIDE (7) jumped from this same draw and was close to the lead throughout before boxing on well and holding a 1.5 lengths second (25.72) at this track over 450m in a Grade 5. Has the ability and expected to go close. GOOSEBUMPS RICO (4) is a capable type and proved too strong last time to win by half a length at Geelong in a handy 26.31 beating Jungle Fireball. Winner at his latest appearance in the quickest time on the card. Must be included in calculations. JAZZY BELLE (8) missed the frame and was safely held latest finishing 7th at this track following on from a second place finish (25.68) there the start prior. Shapes as one to consider. IDRON BALE (1) has a solid strike rate at this track and distance.

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but ran over late and missed the frame when a 2 length fourth (25.76) over 450m at this track. Has the ability to be in the finish.

Good effort to score just four days ago over 460m at Geelong by half a length in a Grade 5. The one to beat again.

Could only manage seventh last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest at double-figure odds when second (34.98) over 595m at Sandown. Boxed awkwardly and will need the right run to feature.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Bendigo over 425m. Last start finished 2nd in a Grade 5 on October 27 over 450m at this track behind Paw Gregson beaten 1.5 lengths (25.72). Broke a two-start winning streak with the placing last time. Can bounce back.
