Shepparton Race 8 - Pacing For Pink 'High Tea' $50Pp Pace
MYNAMEISRUBY (3) worked to find the lead but couldn't keep going and finished a close fifth last start over 2150m at Bendigo. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Meets a similar line up and she can make amends. WHERES WOOD WOOD (5) finished fourth last start over 1755m at Echuca but was very competitive, beaten only 2.75 metres. Big chance if she is at her best. ALCATRAZ GIRL (7) is the next best after finishing runner-up over 1755m at Echuca last time out. Top-three contender. OLLY ODD POTTS (9) is the next elect off a last-start win by 5 metres at Kilmore over 1690m.

Lines up again after a break of 14 months. Well beaten at the end of his last preparation when eleventh unwanted in the market behind Micton Mouse. Has only trialled once and might be short on fitness.
