Shepparton Race 8 - Homesanddomes.com.au (300+ Rank)
RAVEN FORCE (2) was an effortless winner two back scoring by 2.5 lengths then well held latest finishing a 7 length 8th at Healesville (19.92). Ready to return to form. LOCHINVAR GIFT (7) has been hard to follow lately, running fourth (25.99) last time but prior to that ran very well when placed at Warragul. Key player on best and worth another try. BOLD BERT (1) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing fourth (29.13) in a Bottom Up - Grade 5 at Bendigo. Solid record at the distance winning two races. Has performed well from this box with a win and five minor placings to his name from nine starts. One of the main contenders. BACK TALK (8) deserves plenty of thought over this distance.

Was out of placings last time (29.13) at Bendigo in a Bottom Up - Grade 5, finishing fourth and beaten 9 lengths. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and five minors. Looks a key chance on best form.

Ordinary effort last start when she was slow out over 350m at Healesville. Prior to that won by 2.5 lengths at Warrnambool (25.68) beating Doongalla Adam in a Grade 5 on July 20. Looks a strong winning hope.
