Shepparton Race 2 - Wangaratta Cup @ Shepparton Sunday Pace
RED SHORES (2) went back last start and couldn't get into the race when 11 metres from the winner in fourth at Maryborough over 1690m. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Meets a similar line up and he is capable of a much better performance. SOHO PLAYGIRL (7) finished sixth at this track two runs ago before finishing eighth at her latest appearance over 1690m here, beaten 5.5 metres. Meets a similar line up and she is capable of a much better performance. SPECTA (5) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 1690m at this circuit. Top-three aspirations. CHIRRIPO (9) showed pleasing improvement last time out when third over 2190m at this course. A must for the exotics players.

Failed to impress last start; surrendered the lead and finished 5th (Fr2) over 2190m after showing early pace at this track, at the bell was 7th-12.12 beaten 12 m by Lilstrepo (2:40.80) in NR 57 to 67 on February 10 at $23. Showed ability the run before when she won by a head (Sr2) at Ballarat (2:03.00) beating Blackindeed in NR 48 to 53 on January 29 at $16. In the mix on the form from two back.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 4th (Fr4) over 1690m at Maryborough, at the bell was 6th-15.8 beaten 11 m by Sea Fury (2:01.60) in NR 50 to 55 on February 11 at $3.70. Before that, was well back in the run when 7th (Fr6) over 2190m after racing wide at this track was 11th-15.61 at the bell, beaten 13 m by Interpretation (2:41.30) in NR 53 to 58 on February 3 at $18. Better than the recent form suggests.

Returns after a year in the paddock. Ran only once last preparation running when sixth after being driven well back, behind Major Bert at Bendigo over 2150m in a NR 50 to 55 on March 5 at $51. Likely to measure up while fresh.

Last start ran on from midfield and won by 9 m (Sr3) at this track (2:44.70) beating Wicked One in 4yo+ MAIDEN on February 17 at $2.70 at the bell was 2nd-0.67. Will be better for that run and is expected to feature in the finish again.
