Shepparton Race 1 - Neatline Pace
NUGGET ROGERS (3) added to his recent string of strong performances last start when runner-up over 2190m at this track, beaten 4.5 metres. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw and rates a big chance in this comparable race. FRUGAL FARE (10) turned in a much better run last start, finishing third over 1650m at Bendigo after coming from a long way back. Hard to know where he gets from this slightly awkward draw. Won't find this any harder and he can find the winners' circle. HERAKLES (6) has a strong record here which is significant. Finished eighth over 2190m here last time out. Capable of much more. HES CHARLIES ANGEL (4) is worth some thought after his last-start fifth over 1740m at Riverina Paceway on February 6. One for the multiples.

Solid performance when beaten by 2.25 m finishing fourth after being driven well back, behind Nosweetsforyou at Wedderburn over 1750m in a NR 55 to 64 on January 25 at $3.70. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Lilstrepo at this track over 2190m in a NR 57 to 67 on February 10 at $5. Nice effort last time. Sure to be right there at the business end.

Last start was well back in the run when 8th (Fr7) over 1650m at Bendigo, beaten 30 m by Odin (1:57.60) in NR up to 80 on February 6 at $41. Two runs back 6th (Fr3) over 2200m after showing early speed at Launceston beaten 30 m by Zara Tindall (2:45.10) in NR 67 to 74 on November 23 at $6. Better than the last run so worth another chance.

Two back was twelfth behind Hes No Romeo at this track over 1690m in a NR 65 to 79 on January 17 at $23. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5.5 m finishing third behind Odin at Bendigo over 1650m in a NR up to 80 on February 6 at $11. One of the key runners.
