Shepparton Race 8 - Kevin Hicks Real Estate Pace
INTRUSION (6) produced a better effort last time out when he scored by 3 metres over 2150m at Bendigo. Recent effort is good enough to take out a race like this. RUBY WINGATE (5) drew a wide gate last start and was never a genuine threat, beaten 14 metres into fifth at Cranbourne over 2080m. Taking on a better line-up this time but she is drawn to advantage and is up to the challenge. SERENE ROCK (3) is on the radar after his last-start fifth over 2150m at Bendigo a week-and-a-half ago. Top-three conveyance from the favourable draw. STARZZZ DESTINY (4) is in the mix following a respectable second at his first run back over 2080m at Cranbourne. Strips fitter now.
