Shepparton Race 8 - Grv Distance Racing

UNIQUE STAR (8) is a capable type and proved too classy last time to win by 2 lengths at The Meadows in a handy 34.48 beating Paw Danny. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Great chance to get the job done again. BOLD ASSAIL (7) is progressing well and looks close to another win after hitting the frame last run (34.11) at Sandown. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Expected to be in this for a long way. MEPUNGA PHANTOM (2) flew the lids and led throughout to score a most impressive win by 6 lengths at The Meadows over 600m (34.33). Has won two of two starts from this draw. Expecting another bold showing. MANIFESTO (6) cannot be left out despite racing here for the first time.

Finished in the placings last time but the run prior he was an eye-catching winner after racing just off the speed, scoring by 0.6 lengths in a Grade 4/5 at The Meadows and clocking a slick 34.45 over the 600m trip. Hard to top on the time from two back.

Caught the eye with a fast early split and setting up a 2 length win at The Meadows over 600m in 34.48. Can make it two on the bounce.
