Shepparton Race 8 - Racers Function Centre
AWESOME BANDIT (8) jumped well to win over the 515m at Sandown two runs back then prominent throughout when finishing second at Sandown last start. Makes plenty of appeal. SPRINGER'S BOY (6) missed the frame latest but had been racing well prior to that including a Grade 5 win two back (24.20) at Sale. Expecting significant improvement this line-up. ASTON SUMMIT (1) had been in great form but missed the frame latest when seventh (26.83) in a Grade 4/5 at Ballarat. Generally a safe beginner but never in it last time. Worth another chance. RATTLER (7) must be included in calculations.

Could only manage seventh last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest when second (24.08) over 425m at Bendigo. Nicely drawn on the inside but needs to bounce back.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fourth last time out over 450m at this track. Not far away last time but this is a stiff test.

Good effort last time when second (24.20) over 425m at Bendigo. Has a low draw. Looks tested in this line-up.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but ran over at the finish when a narrow fifth (35.44) over 600m at The Meadows. Be tough to make an impression against this lot.

Missed the frame last time but finished in the minors two back when third (22.50) over 390m at this track. Drawn out wide but in the mix on his best form.

Hit the frame last time at Sandown but the start prior was a strong winner after leading throughout, scoring by one length in a Grade 5 at Sandown and recording a powerful 29.44 over the 515m journey. Can measure up again if runs up to recent best times.
