Shepparton Race 8 - Blue Kermaro At Stud (300+ Rank)
AUNTIE AMBER (1) has a moderate overall strike-rate. Finished in the money last time though when second (25.94) at Ballarat. Form here sound including seven wins. Leading chance again. MAJOR SHIRAZ (3) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fourth (28.67) in a Bottom Up - Grade 5 at Bendigo. Can do much better this time. VINTAGE KING (6) chased the lead early from the inside and boxed on well to finish third, beaten 3.5 lengths (34.67) at Sandown in a Grade 5 NP over 595m. Leading chance. HARD COMPASS (4) missed the placings here last start but is well-placed to make amends.
