Shepparton Race 9 - Shepparton To The Meadows Ht1
SUNNY STRIDE (1) has been hard to follow lately, running sixth (29.81) last time but prior to that ran very well when placed at this track. Looks suited here and big improvement expected. GRAPEFRUIT TITO (8) should enjoy clear running from the outside box. Below best latest at Ballarat (31.40) when 6th and beaten 4 lengths. Form here at this distance is strong including zero wins. One of the better hopes. DEVIL'S SYMPATHY (2) was in the placings last time but prior to that he posted a dominant 25.65 win over 460m at Warragul. Smart winner two back and looks a key chance on that form. MISS MAXIMUS (4) is another with top-three prospects.

Quickly away at Warragul two runs back then again settled forward and finished second at Sandown last start over 515m from this same draw. Should be around the mark.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 7 lengths over 425m at Bendigo in a handy 24.08, beating Thermal Ignition. Looks a solid hope.

Good effort to win last start by 2.5 lengths over 350m at Healesville in a handy (19.58), beating Archie Mcivor. Will find this a bit tougher, others preferred on this occasion.
