Shepparton Race 12 - Two More Races To Go
CRIMINAL MINDS (6) was game in defeat when finished in the minors last start over the 390m at Ballarat, running a good 22.10 in a Grade 5. Has the ability and looks hard to top. MR. FLOOD (8) is struggling to break through but racing consistently, finishing in the minors five starts on end. Last time out flew the lids with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when third (22.27) at this track over 390m. Deserves a win and gets his chance. PAW EDEN (1) showed little early speed at her last couple, the latest finishing sixth (24.48) in a Grade 5 at Bendigo. Form here sound including two wins. Worth following up. CHALLENGER (2) picked up an unexpected cheque last time and is in the mix again.

Could only manage eighth last time but the start prior hit the frame when third (22.44) over 390m at this track. Tricky draw to overcome but is among the better hopes.

Started big odds last time but hit the ground running with a slick early split, giving a sight but fading out of it to finish fourth (16.93) at Healesville over 300m. Shouldn't trouble the top few hopes.

Got back last start and could only manage sixth but before that won by 1.5 lengths at Warragul (23.54) beating Essendon Flyer in a Grade 6 on September 5. Likely to struggle this time.

Racing well without winning, recording five minors on end, the latest hitting the ground running with a fast early sectional but finishing in the minors again when third (22.27) over 390m at this track. Leading chance who should prove hard to beat.
