Shepparton Race 3 - Ckh Painting
HARTLAND ASH (2) was fifth in a Maiden two back then in traffic and fell last time at Ballarat. Can find winning form this time. MASK OF ZORRO (8) is a Steven Vantaarling-trained newcomer by Bernardo out of Chic. Start all important and will need some luck getting across from the wide draw. Profiles strongly and pay to watch the market closely. BAKALI FLAME (7) gave a start and copped a bump in running when finishing a 27 length eighth (24.78) at this track in a Maiden. Key player if finds best. GUNAI GAGA (1) makes debut for the John Martin kennel. Gets every chance from the inside draw. Can feature with the right run.

Failed to finish the race over 390m at Ballarat on June 8. Rates highly and looks tough to beat.

Needs to do more than recent efforts, the latest a eighth over 450m at this track. Can't recommend him in this.

Was out of the placings at final run of last campaign, finishing eighth (24.78) at this track before going for a six months spell. Looks a strong top-three chance.
