Shepparton Race 7 - Hygain Pace
LILSTREPO (5) settled close to the pace then surged to the lead and tried hard but found one better last start over 1609m at Cranbourne, beaten 3 metres to add to an impressive run of top-three finishes. This should be an easier assignment so she is sure to prove tough to beat. DO IT (8) settled close to the pace then found the lead and battled on well to finish third last start over 2240m at Melton, the second minor placing in a row. No harm in drawing here with the sprint lane to rely upon. Finds a nice race and can turn things around. NUGGET ROGERS (7) was unplaced two starts ago then things went amiss last start when he broke and finished 2.25 metres away in fourth over 1750m at Wedderburn. Only needs to get things right to be in the money. INTERPRETATION (6) is the next elect off a last-start win by 1.4 metres at this track over 2190m.

Been racing well and showed plenty of improvement following January 18 run. Just managed to hang on and win won by a head (Sr2) at Ballarat (2:03.00) beating Blackindeed in NR 48 to 53 on January 29 at $16 at the bell was 8th-11.82. This race will be harder than that win. Not as keen on her chances in this line-up.

Well-placed here and should improve sharply.

Chasing a hat-trick. Last start tracked on the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 1.4 m after showing early speed, (Fr1) at this track (2:41.30) beating Animado in NR 53 to 58 on February 3 at $9.50 at the bell was 3rd-3.94. Hard to leave out on current form. Winning chance again.

Solid run when beaten by 1.2 m finishing second behind Twisting By at Bendigo over 2150m in a NR 60 to 80 on January 21 at $11. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3.5 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Shadow Celt at Melton over 2240m in a NR up to 80 on January 30 at $3.90. Major player.
