Shepparton Race 8 - Homesanddomes.com.au (250+ Rank)

SASSY SPICE (4) has a strong record this track and trip including two wins from four starts. Comes off a (25.45) win last time, scoring by 2.75 lengths in a Grade 5 over 450m at this track. With a clean break looks hard to beat. UTAH ICON (7) has a moderate overall strike-rate. Finished in the money last time though when third (25.59) at this track. Solid record at the distance winning five races. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings three times from six starts. Expected to feature again. SUNNY STRIDE (5) well back settling but did wind up strongly to finish 5th and beaten only 4 lengths (22.53) at this track. Solid record here at the distance winning three races. Likely to be about the money. SODA BEN (2) is always hard to beat when he races at this trip.

In the money last time at this track (25.59) in a Grade 5, finishing a 6 length third. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed three times. Looks a key chance on best form.

Missed the frame last time but prior to that was in the money twice in a row including a narrow loss at big odds two back when second (25.86) over 450m at this track. Has to overcome a wide draw and needs to find best form to feature.
