Shepparton Race 2 - Sportsbet Blackbook

RELAX MATE (8) was a winner two back then strongly fancied last time but could only manage a third (22.49) at this track. Must come into calculations. CURRENTLY (7) showed good early speed and led throughout to score her maiden two back then finished fifth last start and beaten 3.5 lengths at Warrnambool over 390m (23.09). Will break from a wide draw. This looks easier and expected to improve sharply. COMPLEX THINKING (1) has been hard to follow lately, running fourth (17.11) last time but prior to that ran very well when placed at Ballarat. Can improve sharply here. LIVING THE DREAM (2) deserves plenty of thought at his first run at this circuit.

Did a good job two starts back at Ballarat to win by a neck in 22.51, beating Paw Damon. Last start finished 7th in a Restricted WIN on February 14 over 400m at Geelong behind Black Marvel beaten 7 lengths (23.15). Likely to struggle this time.
