Shepparton Race 5 - Celebrating Ben & Anne O' Donoghue Pace
CLIVES GIRL (3) settled close to the pace then found the lead and kept finding to finish third last start over 2160m at Echuca, the second minor placing in a row. Has the benefit of a good draw and has the ability to take care of this field. IAMAWINGATE (2) has been racing well of late. Finished third at his latest appearance over 1650m at Bendigo, beaten 6 metres. No excuses from this advantageous draw and has to be included. OUR MYSTERY BET (8) is the next elect off a last-start win by 2.5 metres at this track over 2190m. MAJOR MAURIE (4) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 2190m at this venue. One for the multiples.

Last start 6th (Fr2) over 1690m after showing early pace at this track, beaten 55 m by Cresco Threepeat (2:03.20) in NR up to 45 on March 8 at $17. Two runs back 10th (Fr3) over 1690m after showing early speed at this track beaten 55 m by Riveera (2:02.50) in NR up to 49 on December 2 at $34. Strips fitter and is capable of testing this line up.

Solid run when beaten by 2 m finishing fourth behind Watch It Happen at Terang over 1680m in a NR up to 42 on March 2 at $11. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Polly Peachum at Bendigo over 1650m in a NR up to 42 on March 11 at $23. Should be in the finish.
