Shepparton Race 4 - Sportsbet Ht2 (275+Rank)

ASTON GIOVANNI (2) missed the frame and was safely held latest finishing 7th at Bendigo following on from a third place finish (25.64) at this track the start prior. Should bounce back. HAPPY BUDDHA (1) turned in a modest effort most recently when eighth at Healesville over 350m behind Wine Lover (20.00) in a Grade 5. Solid formlines coming through his last run. Key runner on best form. ZENYATTA (6) has a strong winning strike-rate over this track and trip with three wins and a placing from seven tries. Was out of the placings last time (23.56) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing fourth and beaten 15 lengths. Looks one of the chances. LAKEVIEW MITCH (7) picked up a cheque out of this box most recently - in the mix again.
