Shepparton Race 7 - Racers Function Centre
UTAH ICON (3) turned in a plain run last time when seventh at The Meadows over 525m behind Fromelles Poppy (30.95) in a Grade 5. Was in the money the start prior. Has ability and looks hard to stop. PAW WELKES (5) showed blistering pace early and gave a sight when in the minors, beaten 2.5 lengths over 450m this track in 25.27. Leading chance. PAT'S BOY (1) resumed from a break finishing sixth (25.58) at this track in a Grade 4/5. Has a good record here including five wins. Still to record a win from this draw but has never missed the frame in two starts. Should be in this for a long way. BAROOGA KING (2) can measure up with the right run.

Big odds last time but hit the ground running with a strong early split, giving a sight but fading only late to finish second (25.27) at this track over 450m. Close to the speed and boxed on well at the latest run. Key chance again.

Going very well with wins at her last two. Scored most recently over 410m at Horsham in Grade 5 class six days ago. Others make more appeal.

Good effort to win last start by 1.5 lengths over 410m at Horsham in a handy (23.44), beating Whisky Point. The form from the last run stacks up nicely. Worth following up.
