Shepparton Race 8 - Ckh Painting (250+ Rank)
SMOKIN' BILLY (6) used the inside draw to advantage last time and hit the ground running with a fast early split, but could manage only the minor money when a 2.5 lengths third at Geelong over 460m in 26.07. Form from his last run is proving to be solid. Key chance in this line up. SUNNY STRIDE (5) showed strong early pace and proved too slick around Bendigo over 425m in 24.35, claiming a Grade 5 by a long neck. Leading chance again. TWILIGHT SLEUTH (1) is in top form, scoring by 1.2 lengths (22.21) over 390m at this track and making it back to back wins. Form from her last run is proving strong. One of the prime contenders. UNIVERSE (8) must be included in main hopes on latest effort.

Good effort to win last start by 3.5 lengths over 425m at Bendigo in a handy (24.15), beating Harry Zoom. Will find this a bit tougher, others preferred on this occasion.
