Shepparton Race 8 - Grv Distance Racing
UNIQUE STAR (5) clocked a strong 34.51 when filling a minor placing over 600m at The Meadows last start. Has the ability and expected to go close again. AUNTIE AMBER (1) was in the minors two back (25.68) at this track but ran below best last time there, finishing 8th. Likely to play a prominent role. CRUZADO (2) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing fourth (35.41) in a Grade 5 at The Meadows. Shapes as one to consider. JONI BLACK (8) is a last-start placegetter who is in the mix again.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when third (30.61) over 525m at The Meadows. Squeeze draw to overcome. Looking to others.

Was among the placegetters latest at The Meadows when a one length second but did clock a slick 34.51 over the 600m journey. Hard to top with a repeat of that run.

Missed the frame last start when a 8 length fifth (35.06) at The Meadows. Previous form sound including a win three back at The Meadows. Rates well on best and expect a better run this time.
