Shepparton Race 7 - Happy Birthday Max
SCOTT GREYSCALE (8) ran the fastest on the card last time scoring by 6 lengths (26.05) at this track. Rates a top chance again. DOONGALLA GEM (6) goes very well here including two wins. Missed the frame latest (26.42) when sixth over 450m at Ballarat in a Grade 5. Among the main chances. HEATHCOTE RUPEE (3) failed to feature last start after drifting back at Warrnambool, but prior to that won by 1.5 lengths at Warragul (22.93) beating Borroloola Boy in a Grade 5 on June 20. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minor placings. Should be in this for a long way. KID GULLA (4) jumps at a shorter journey and still warrants respect.

Good effort to win last start by 1.3 lengths over 450m at this track in a handy (25.85), beating Midnight Thunder. Will find this a bit tougher, others hold stronger claims.

Didn't make the placings last time at Warrnambool (26.02) in a Grade 5, finishing a 4.5 lengths fifth. Has performed well off the draw with a win and two places from five starts. Looks one of the chances.

Got back last start and could only manage seventh but before that won comfortably by 8 lengths at The Meadows (29.98) beating Mepunga Destiny in a Mix 6/7 H on June 17. Expected to bounce back. Among the chances.

Last start finished last on July 6 over 450m at Ballarat behind Wearing Levis beaten 15 lengths (26.42) in a Grade 5. Strongly fancied last time but missed the frame and was beaten a fair way. Can atone.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 450m in 26.05 last start, beating Jed's Memory. Makes plenty of appeal. Go close again.
