Shepparton Race 7 - Elite Collars And Leads (1-3 W) (250+)

SCOTT EPHRAIM (3) boxed on well to finish third last time, beaten 1.5 lengths (25.96) behind Kraken Babe at this track. Good form should continue. SODA BEN (1) has missed the frame the last couple but was a T3 Grade 7 winner three back (25.64) at this track over 450m. Has the ability and can find best this time. FAST REPLY (2) was safely held last time out, finishing fifth at this track over 450m behind Devious Angel (26.40) in a Mix 6/7. Was a winner prior to that. Strong form has emerged from his last run. Key runner who gets his chance to atone. IMPRESS MOANA (8) can find the frame without surprising. Something for the Multiples: ASTON HARUTO (6) OPAL WHISPER (4)

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 4 lengths in 25.67, beating Bangkok Beauty. Last start finished 5th over 450m at this track beaten 16 lengths (26.40) behind Devious Angel in a Mix 6/7 on December 1. Is a danger.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Bendigo over 425m in 24.60. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fifth over 500m at Bendigo at T3 RSTW level. Not suited by wide draw, would be better placed in something easier.
