Shepparton Race 9 - Homesanddomes.com.au
BLAZE (3) has been in the minors the last two, the latest showing strong pace early but gathered in and finished a 1.5 lengths second over 300m Healesville in 17.05. Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Likely to feature again. NELL'S PRIDE (1) was in winning form two back (23.08) at Warragul but ran below best last time at Sale, finishing 8th. Form from her last run is proving strong. One of the better hopes. PRESENT GIFT (4) had a tricky draw and ran well to finish second, beaten 2 lengths, (22.76) at this track. Can feature again. NALA'S MANTIS (2) is worth including after a top-three finish at big odds most recently.

Returns from a four months break and only other fresh up run was on debut when placed over 400m at Warragul. The last run is a strong form reference. Follow up.

Flew the lids with a fast early split last time, hitting the frame with a 1.5 lengths second (17.05) over 300m at Healesville and making it two placings on end. Key chance on best form.
