Shepparton Race 9 - Avian Park Wangaratta Maiden Trot
WHAT A SERVE (6) resumes after finishing fifth at her latest appearance at Melton on December 27. Has the talent to take this out. TWOTTER TAY (2) is stepping out for the first time. By Skyvalley and hails from the Steven Duffy stable. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Placed in a recent trial. Will be right there at the business end. FARSTAR (8) is on the radar after his last-start sixth over 1690m at this track three-and-a-half weeks ago. SAYAPRAYERFORME (3) is worth some thought after her last-start fourth over 2190m at this track on February 17.

Returns after ten weeks in the paddock. Finished off last preparation when well beaten into fifth after a quick start, behind Ijustcantseeit at Melton over 1720m in a 2yo 10 0K on December 27 at $21. Looks very hard to beat while fresh.

Last start 6th (Fr7) over 1690m at this track, beaten 45 m by Little Miss Morgan (2:08.80) in 4yo+ MAIDEN on February 10 at $3. Before that, was well beaten after breaking at Cobram on December 28. Capable of a lot more.
