Shepparton Race 5 - Eagle I T-L Irrigation Pace (2Nd Heat)
LINE UP JACQUIE (9) has been a model of consistency of late and deserved her success last start, scoring by a head over 2190m at this track. Tackles a similar assignment and she can make it two on the trot. MISS JOPLIN (10) was responsible for a far better performance at her latest appearance when runner-up over 2190m here, beaten a head. May just need a bit of luck at some point from this difficult draw but rates a leading hope in a similar race. NORTHERN TERROR (4) is on the radar after his last-start sixth over 2180m at Kilmore five days ago. Top-three credentials. MY BELLA (7) could only finish sixth over 2190m at Mildura most recently. Open to improvement and is in the mix for some minor money.

Failed to impress last start; 6th (Fr4) over 1609m after showing early pace at Charlton, at the bell was 2nd-3.6 beaten 12 m by No Emotion (1:55.50) in NR up to 45 on February 16 at $34. Showed ability the outing before when she won by a neck after showing early speed, (Fr6) at Charlton (1:59.20) beating Salsboy in NR up to 35 on February 2 at $11 at the bell was leading 4.2. Better than last start and deserves another chance.

Two back was beaten by 8 m finishing sixth behind Tex Goes Bang at Ballarat over 2200m in a NR 36 to 41 on January 8 at $26. Then a handy effort when third after a quick start, behind Whata Optimist at this track over 1690m in a NR 38 to 43 on February 17 at $6.50. Rates highly. Gets his chance to break through.

In good form recently. Last start came from midfield and won by a head after showing early speed, (Fr4) at this track (2:44.80) beating Miss Joplin in NR up to 45 M on February 17 at $5.50 at the bell was 2nd-2.53. Major contender on current form.
