Shepparton Race 4 - Ckh Painting (300+ Rank)

PAW FORRESTER (4) was in the minors two back (24.59) at Bendigo but ran below best last time at Ballarat, finishing 7th. The form out of his last race has been franked. Can make amends. BLACK CABANG (1) has been in the money at his last two runs, most recently when third (23.01) in a Grade 5 over 390m at Ballarat. Rates a winning chance on best. JOHN BOY (5) was in the minors two back (22.75) at Ballarat but ran below best last time there, finishing 7th. Key player if finds best. DOOKIE GIBLET (6) is worth some thought after showing speed and filling a placing last start.
