Shepparton Race 8 - Elite Collars And Leads

BLUE BOY SHIRAZ (8) has mixed form recently, finishing seventh (24.68) in a Special conditions race at Bendigo latest but did run well two back when in the frame. Looks suited here and big improvement expected. KIOWA ICON (4) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing eighth (22.74) in a Grade 5 at this track. Key runner who gets her chance to atone. ASCEND HIBISCUS (1) turned in a modest effort most recently when seventh at this track over 390m behind Criminal Minds (22.71) in a Grade 5. Was in the money prior to that. Boasts three wins from three starts out of this box. Has ability and is one of the better chances. MARKET JET (2) boasts a solid strike-rate from this box.

Finished seventh last start at this track but prior to that had been racing consistently. Has a solid winning strike rate off the inside draw but will need a little luck to feature.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fifth last time out over 300m at Healesville. Others hold stronger claims.
