Shepparton Race 5 - Gv Plaster Products New Sponsor Pace
TALISKER SKIPPER (9) turned in a much better run at his latest appearance when he scored by 5.5 metres over 1720m at Melton. Leading hope in a similar race. WHERES WOOD WOOD (8) finished fourth last start over 2150m at Bendigo, beaten 7 metres, after a good win at this track the run prior. Drawn to enjoy an economical run and might sweat on the sprint lane. Won't find this any harder and she can bounce back straight away. CRESCO THREEPEAT (5) is close to a win after two successive placings, the latest a second over 1690m here. Great chance to break through. ICANMOTOR (1) is worth some thought despite his last-start 12th over 1690m at this circuit on May 19. Capable of more from the pegs draw.

Two back was ninth behind Madam Reactor at Bendigo over 2150m on May 13 at $34. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Watch Your Back at this track over 1690m on May 19 at $10. Heading the right way and is a leading player.

Solid run when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Our Mystery Bet at this track over 2190m on May 12 at $51. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing second behind Watch Your Back at this track over 1690m on May 19 at $7. Overdue and looks hard to beat again.

Failed to impress last start; 9th (Sr2) over 1690m at this track beaten 20 m by Watch Your Back (2:03.00) on May 19 at $31. Showed ability the outing before when he won by 9 m as favourite when quickly away, (Fr5) at this track (2:05.70) beating Parisian Bandit in on April 14 at $3 at the bell was leading 3.5. Rates well on best form and worth including.
