Shepparton Race 8 - Blue Kermaro At Stud (250+Rank)
MAJOR SHIRAZ (2) flew the lids off the inside draw with a fast early split and gave a sight, finishing a 1.5 lengths second (25.61) over 450m at this track. Can measure up this time. POWER AFFECT (3) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing sixth (22.79) last time in a Grade 5 at this track. Form here sound including two wins. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. HARTLAND ROCKET (1) wasn't far away at the finish when 4th and beaten only 2.75 lengths (24.25) at Bendigo. Cannot be left out. MAGIC BULLSEYE (7) is worth including.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 390m. Last start finished 2nd in a Grade 5 on October 12 over 450m at this track behind Montana Icon beaten 1.5 lengths (25.61). Going well and can bounce back to winning form.

Missed the frame last start when sixth but had been in strong form prior to that, winning two on end before placing two back. Looks a key chance here on best and given another chance.

Didn't make the placings last time at Wentworth Park (30.77) in a Mix 1/2/3, finishing a 21 length seventh. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and two places from six starts. Looking to others.

Did a good job two starts back at Bendigo to win by 7 lengths in 23.81, beating Jodie's Angel. Last start finished 5th in a Restricted WIN on October 9 over 500m at Bendigo behind Paw Yaris beaten 4.5 lengths (28.48). Cannot enthuse on this occasion.

Backs up after winning comfortably by 6 lengths at Bendigo (24.09) beating Like A Blaze in a Bottom Up - Grade 5 on October 10 five days ago. This is much harder assignment and she needs to find another gear.
