Shepparton Race 9 - Sportsbet Shepparton Classic Final
ZIPPING COLUMBUS (5) charged out of the boxes with a slick early split and went straight to the front, scoring an all the way win (24.95) over 450m at this track. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in his latest win. Has hit winning form and can go on with it. SPARRING (8) flew the lids with a sensational early split and led throughout to score an impressive win by 3.5 lengths over 450m at this track (25.07). Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Expected to measure up again. CALY JET (1) goes very well over this trip including two wins. Comes off a (25.11) win last time, scoring by 1.5 lengths in a Special conditions H over 450m at this track. Looks well placed here and among the chances. PAW WINKWORTH (2) placed last time out so worth considering.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Geelong over 400m in 22.63. Followed that up with a minor placing over 450m at this track at Special conditions H a week ago. Not keen this time.

Good performance to post a big 6 lengths win at this track over 450m (24.95) beating Magic Loki in Special conditions H on February 23. Boasts a course and distance PB in a scintillating 24.95. Top chance.
