Shepparton Race 9 - Elite Collars And Leads
WINNING HAND (7) goes very well at the distance with two wins and a placing from six starts. Hit the frame latest (22.25) when second at this track in a Grade 6. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. BLUES TRAIN (6) has shown good improvement at his last two starts, most recently finishing 2nd at this track over 390m. The form out of last race has been strong. Will give a great sight again. KIOWA ICON (1) has shown good improvement at her last two starts, hitting the frame latest when 3rd at this track over 390m. Can measure up. PAINT THE FENCE (2) can play a role in the finish without surprising.

Showing promise but missed the frame last start when eighth at this track. Form solid prior to that including a win at this track three back. Looks tested and others preferred this time.

Good effort last time when third (23.11) over 390m at Ballarat. Drawn awkwardly. Has to do a bit more.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but had to contend with second when clocking 22.40 over 390m at this track. The form out of the last run measures up. Hard to beat.

Has finished seventh at this circuit at the last two appearances, most recently when beaten 10 lengths behind Kraken Rum over 390m. Failed to threaten last start and looks tested again.
