Shepparton Race 6 - Sportsbet Ht2
PAW ISLA (6) scored well last start as odds-on favourite by 6 lengths at The Meadows in a handy 30.07 beating White Crest. Has a tricky draw to overcome but goes well at this distance. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in her latest win. Form reads well for this. UTAH ICON (8) was below best last time when fourth but prior to that was a Grade 4/5 winner in quick time at this track. Has the ability and expected to do much better. HEATHCOTE RUPEE (2) has missed the frame the last couple but was a Grade 5 FIN winner three back (24.08) at Bendigo over 425m. Can turn it around this time. UNIVERSE (1) placed last time out so worth considering.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when second (22.35) over 390m at this track. Aided by a low draw and is among the better hopes.

Found the going tougher last start when second over 390m at this track. That followed a win two back in 22.34 beating Paw Kara over 390m at Ballarat. Likely to find this too tough.

Continued winning form with another impressive display after running them ragged to make it back-to-back wins at The Meadows over 525m (30.07). Key chance and should go close again.

Consistent performer who is new here. Nice win last start by half a length at Ballarat (25.66) beating Blackpool Finn in a Grade 5 on February 10. In line for a hat-trick. Must include.
