Shepparton Race 8 - Blue Kermaro At Stud (250+ Rank)
SCOTT EPHRAIM (4) broke well and quickly mustered speed to win over the 450m at this track two runs back then settled forward again when finishing second at this track last start. Makes plenty of appeal. MORNING DAISY (2) crossed over from out wide last start before finishing third (25.64) at this track in a Grade 5 over 450m. Winning chance. GUNAI CYCLONE (1) put in a much better performance last start when in the placings at this track behind Insinuating (25.77) in a Grade 5 H NP. Has the pace to be prominent. Must be included in calculations. JULY SHE LIED (7) has strong claims after a top-three finish last time out.

Looks close to another win after his success on May 4 2025 at Healesville over 350m. Last start was third over 450m in 25.77, behind Insinuating. Leading chance who should prove hard to beat.

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, grabbed late but holding on to a placing when a 0.8 lengths third (25.64) over 450m at this track. Key chance on best form.

Hasn't shown any early speed lately and drifts back in his races. The latest effort was a 6 length sixth over 485m at Horsham. Likely to struggle this time.

Was out of placings last time (22.55) at Ballarat in a Grade 5 H, finishing sixth and beaten 4.5 lengths. Has two placings from four starts from the draw. Suited here and expected to run well.
