Shepparton Race 10 - Shrc Bistro Open This Sunday Night Pace (3Rd Heat)
FLOPPA (6) galloped last start and finished a long last when resuming in a 1770m event at Albury two-and-a-half weeks ago. Beautifully placed and he should turn things around. ROCKAWAY BEACH (4) has not raced for three-and-a-half months. Looks forward enough for this return after a minor placing in a recent trial and will have plenty of admirers. BLACKJACK WHACKO (7) finished tenth two runs ago then broke and finished a distant last over 1690m at Maryborough at the latest appearance. Will need a bit of luck negotiating a very wide starting position. Meets a similar line up so if he behaves a big run is likely. BYRNESIDE BOOM (5) disappointed last time when ninth over 1690m at this circuit. Can bounce back against this line-up.

Two back was second behind Master Gouda at Albury over 1770m in a NR up to 47 on February 13 at $14. Then a handy effort when a close second after showing early speed, behind Sokys Falcon at Riverina Paceway over 1740m in a NR up to 47 on February 20 at $2.20. Sure to be prominent.

Failed to impress last start; 9th (Sr3) over 1690m at this track beaten 50 m by Eastbro Jesse (2:00.60) in NR 43 to 48 on February 24 at $2.20. Showed ability the race before when he ran on from midfield and posted a big 15 m win as favourite (Fr1) at this track (2:42.90) beating Calivil in NR 44 to 49 on February 17 at $2.50 at the bell was leading 2.82. Great chance to bounce back.

Last start 8th (Sr1) over 1690m at Maryborough beaten 80 m by Lorimermajor (2:00.50) in NR 50 to 55 on January 28 at $8.50. The run prior was well back in the run when 10th (Fr7) over 2150m at Bendigo, beaten 85 m by Karuma Kev (2:35.30) in NR 49 to 54 on January 14 at $7. Better than last start and can improve sharply.
