Race comment
OVERVIEW: No contest all night at Shepparton requires more intuition than the lowest-assessed race of the evening; which doubles as the final leg of this evening’s Early Quad. In may ways, the key to this event is that most runners engaged – five of the seven – have enjoyed enough outings to gauge their potential. The two combatants that haven’t reached their zenith are OOGA CHAKA (5) and DALVEY ROBYN (6); and there’s plenty of evidence that both horses – particularly OOGA CHAKA (5) – are destined for much better races than this. Despite failing against the elite through the formative stages of his career OOGA CHAKA (5) has looked very smart at times in his 17 starts, trialled super from the stand at Geelong earlier this week – despite the moderate times – and is trained by a smart hobby horseman in Jack Kendall. In all honesty, the main hope of him getting rolled is if he engages early as there’s speed and intent drawn inside. If he’s allowed to balance and dominate, however, he looks clear top pick with DALVEY ROBYN (6) who goes back early and roars home late, his obvious knockout threat. Much smaller hopes also go to STORMONT STAR (7) who may find himself in a controlling position after the start and BEACH WRECK (2) who looks just a shade behind the top few on talent and may have an awful time trying to cross the polemarker despite his excellent pace. EARLY SPEED: 1,2 + 3?,5? + 7? RATINGS: 5/ 6/ 7/ 2/ 3/ 4/ 1

Race comment
OVERVIEW: No contest all night at Shepparton requires more intuition than the lowest-assessed race of the evening; which doubles as the final leg of this evening’s Early Quad. In may ways, the key to this event is that most runners engaged – five of the seven – have enjoyed enough outings to gauge their potential. The two combatants that haven’t reached their zenith are OOGA CHAKA (5) and DALVEY ROBYN (6); and there’s plenty of evidence that both horses – particularly OOGA CHAKA (5) – are destined for much better races than this. Despite failing against the elite through the formative stages of his career OOGA CHAKA (5) has looked very smart at times in his 17 starts, trialled super from the stand at Geelong earlier this week – despite the moderate times – and is trained by a smart hobby horseman in Jack Kendall. In all honesty, the main hope of him getting rolled is if he engages early as there’s speed and intent drawn inside. If he’s allowed to balance and dominate, however, he looks clear top pick with DALVEY ROBYN (6) who goes back early and roars home late, his obvious knockout threat. Much smaller hopes also go to STORMONT STAR (7) who may find himself in a controlling position after the start and BEACH WRECK (2) who looks just a shade behind the top few on talent and may have an awful time trying to cross the polemarker despite his excellent pace. EARLY SPEED: 1,2 + 3?,5? + 7? RATINGS: 5/ 6/ 7/ 2/ 3/ 4/ 1

Race comment
OVERVIEW: No contest all night at Shepparton requires more intuition than the lowest-assessed race of the evening; which doubles as the final leg of this evening’s Early Quad. In may ways, the key to this event is that most runners engaged – five of the seven – have enjoyed enough outings to gauge their potential. The two combatants that haven’t reached their zenith are OOGA CHAKA (5) and DALVEY ROBYN (6); and there’s plenty of evidence that both horses – particularly OOGA CHAKA (5) – are destined for much better races than this. Despite failing against the elite through the formative stages of his career OOGA CHAKA (5) has looked very smart at times in his 17 starts, trialled super from the stand at Geelong earlier this week – despite the moderate times – and is trained by a smart hobby horseman in Jack Kendall. In all honesty, the main hope of him getting rolled is if he engages early as there’s speed and intent drawn inside. If he’s allowed to balance and dominate, however, he looks clear top pick with DALVEY ROBYN (6) who goes back early and roars home late, his obvious knockout threat. Much smaller hopes also go to STORMONT STAR (7) who may find himself in a controlling position after the start and BEACH WRECK (2) who looks just a shade behind the top few on talent and may have an awful time trying to cross the polemarker despite his excellent pace. EARLY SPEED: 1,2 + 3?,5? + 7? RATINGS: 5/ 6/ 7/ 2/ 3/ 4/ 1
