Shepparton Race 3 - Welcome Murray Football Netball League Pace
SHEZAGLAMOURGIRL (5) is back from a break of five months and looks to be right up to the mark following a placing in a recent trial. Will have plenty of admirers. THE GOLDEN HOOK (2) resumes from a spell of 12 weeks after closing off last campaign in good form, scoring at his last appearance over 2100m at Charlton. No excuses from this advantageous draw and is sure to be right there at the finish. MAAS BETTING AGAIN (1) is better than her last-start 11th over 2150m at Bendigo. Worth another chance from the coveted pegs draw. KATUNGA EXPRESS (6) is worth some thought after his last-start sixth over 1609m at Cranbourne on January 31. May earn some minor money.

Last start was eleventh after a quick start, behind Feel The Reign at Bendigo over 2150m in a NR 50 to 55 on February 20 at $13. Raced better the start before that with a solid effort when 2nd (Fr2) over 1609m after showing early speed at Cranbourne was leading by 3.8 at the bell, beaten a neck by Rolinginthedeep (1:54.60) in NR 53 to 58 on February 8 at $41. Can make amends.

Resuming after a spell of 12 weeks. Finished off last campaign recording by 2.5 m as favourite when quickly away, (Fr3) at Charlton (2:36.00) beating Sweet Marion in MAIDEN on December 8 at $1.70 at the bell was leading 4.1m on the pegs. Rates highly and is a leading player.

Resuming after five months off the scene. Finished off last campaign when third behind Applauding at Riverina Paceway over 1740m in a 2yo NR up to 55 on October 3 at $7.50. Previous preparation first-up posted a big 3 m win as favourite (Fr4) at Echuca (2:08.70) beating Gee Young in MAIDEN on September 9 at $3.10. Can measure up while fresh.

Failed to impress last start; surrendered the lead and finished 6th (Fr6) over 1609m after showing early speed at Cranbourne, beaten 12 m by Rolinginthedeep (1:53.50) in NR up to 59 on January 31 at $23. Showed ability the run before when he won by 4.5 m when quickly away, (Fr6) at Bendigo (1:56.10) beating Anakin in 2-4 WINS on December 17 at $4.80 at the bell was leading 1m on the pegs. Bold showing expected.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing seventh behind Lambro Mach at Melton over 2240m in a NR 50 to 55 on December 31 at $12. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.3 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Emma Rox at Melton over 1720m in a NR up to 55 on January 10 at $17. Can win with even luck.

Last start was well back in the run when 7th (Fr6) over 1690m at Maryborough beaten 50 m by Lorimermajor (2:00.50) in NR 50 to 55 on January 28 at $4. Two runs back 4th (Sr4) over 2240m at Swan Hill, beaten 9 m by Sports Narrator (2:45.10) in NR 50 to 55 on January 13 at $4.40. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.
