Shepparton Race 3 - Hygain Trot
ALDEBARAN JAZMINE (3) was only 2.5 metres from Gladiatrix in fifth last time in a Group One over 2300m at Menangle. The one to beat from an ideal draw in a much easier contest. ALDEBARAN ZANE (10) produced a better effort at his latest appearance when he scored by 6 metres over 1690m at this track. Draws out a little on the second line and may need luck at some point but rates a big chance in a similar race. ALDEBARANHARLEQUIN (6) is a great chance after a string of sound recent performances, the latest a solid third here over 1690m. Hard to find fault. WIND STORM (5) is the best of the rest after finishing fourth over 2180m at Kilmore last time out.

Showed a glimmer of form last start 3rd (Sr1) over 2150m at Bendigo, beaten 7 m by Kalarney Prince (2:46.60) on May 20 at $6.50. But The start before was beaten by 9 m finishing eighth behind Voldagha at this track over 1690m on May 12 at $19. Not as keen on his chances in this line-up.
