Shepparton Race 3 - Neatline Maiden Pace
SON OF A BROAD (10) was responsible for a very good effort last time over 1755m at Echuca, finishing second and just a head from the winner. Not drawn to best so may need a 10/10 drive. Good enough to put himself in the winners' stall. LOWER WEST SIDE (6) finished fifth last start, beaten 11 metres at Echuca over 1755m. Capable of playing a major role so has to be respected. BET ON ACES (13) must be considered after he finished runner-up when resuming over 2240m at Swan Hill two weeks ago. Top-three credentials. LITTLE WONDER (3) should not have any excuses from the favourable draw and looks one for the multiples.

Lines up again after a break of four months. Well beaten at the end of her last preparation when ninth at very big odds behind Monaghan Boy. Happy to watch this time.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 4th (Fr6) over 2690m at Kilmore, beaten 25 m by Lazenby (3:31.10) in 4yo+ MAIDEN on March 26 at $101.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished a narrow second behind Pearl Of Philtra at Echuca over 1755m MAIDEN last start. Before that was beaten a head second at Kilmore over 2690m in 4yo+ MAIDEN on March 26. Shapes as one to consider.

Having his second run back from a spell. Solid effort when 2nd (Fr2) over 2240m after showing early speed at Swan Hill was leading by 0.9 at the bell, beaten 1.5 m by Ozzie Pearl (2:45.60) in 0-1 WIN on March 31 at $12. Bold showing expected again.
