Shepparton Race 7 - Saddleworld Shepparton Trot
JILLIBY TOPGUN (8) finished fourth last start over 2190m at this track, beaten 14 metres. Best recent result was a win here three starts ago over 2190m. Will enjoy a pretty soft run from this draw, with the sprint lane to play a big role. Meets a similar line up and he can figure in the finish. LITTLE TEDEY (4) is racing well with six top-five finishes in succession, the latest effort a third at Bendigo over 2150m. Meets a comparable field so he can play a significant role. TAKEN BY WINE (3) didn't do a bad job when sixth over 1690m at this circuit last time out. Top-three credentials from the low draw. SAINT EYES (6) is worth some thought after his last-start fourth over 1690m at this course on May 12. One for the multiples.

10-year-old mare showed improvement last time when 3rd (Fr2) over 2190m after showing early speed at this track was 4th-10.06 at the bell, beaten 9 m by Waikare Adrienna (2:45.40) on May 12 at $51. The race before was not as impressive when fifth behind Aldebaran Marcus at this track over 1690m on March 24 at $21. Has the job ahead.

Failed to impress last start; surrendered the lead and finished 6th (Fr6) over 1690m after showing early pace at this track was 3rd-5.66 at the bell, beaten 8 m by Voldagha (2:08.30) on May 12 at $41. Showed ability the run before when she won by 15 m when quickly away, (Fr3) at this track (2:08.40) beating Matisoff in on May 3 at $5.50 at the bell was leading 3.68. Big chance to find the winners' list.

Solid run when beaten by 2.5 m finishing second behind Jessicas Story at Bendigo over 2150m on May 13 at $3.10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Allwatfunjingles at Bendigo over 2150m on May 20 at $5. Continues to race well and he is right in this contest.

Failed to impress last start; was driven from back in the field when 7th (Fr7) over 2190m at this track beaten 50 m by Waikare Adrienna (2:45.40) on May 12 at $11. Showed ability the race before when she came from midfield and won by 2.75 m (Sr2) at Bendigo (2:02.30) beating Jessicas Story in M on May 6 at $4.60 at the bell was 2nd-1.62. Bold showing expected.
