Shepparton R1 COTTRELLS ELECTRICAL 2YO PACE

Race comment

OVERVIEW: MASQUERADING (2) followed a very good trial success with a debut second at Kilmore where he raced greenly and settled four back on the outside before making his move with 600m remaining. He hung out and raced greenly again on the home turn but finished solidly for second so he must be respected. SHOOBEE GOTCHA (5) gained a one out and one back trail, showed good speed in the home straight but was checked 50m from the line and lost his momentum. He probably would have finished second had he not struck bother and he is a definite chance on that performance. SUNSHINE WARRIOR (7) was slow out and settled three back on the markers before switching to the sprint lane and working through for fourth on debut. He should be improved by the run and this field is of similar standard. POPCORNFRIDAY (1) is a first starter for trainer Ray Searby, which led and ran along at a genuine tempo when a handy third at a Melton trial performance last week. He is drawn to receive every chance so he must be kept safe. OZZIE JOY (4) is the most experienced horse in the field so she cannot be discarded. EARLY SPEED: 1 (possible leader), 3,4 RATINGS: 2,5/ 7/ 1,4/ 6/ 3
