Shepparton Race 3 - Xmas On 28th July Book Now Trot
KENNYS SON (6) finished second at Melton two starts back then did a great job again at his latest appearance over 2150m at at Bendigo, beaten 8 metres into third after being handy all the way. Tackles a similar assignment and he can take care of this line-up. LITTLE MISS MORGAN (5) scored by 4 metres at Bendigo over 2150m last start at her first run back from a spell. That latest effort is good enough to put her right in the finish. THE ITALIAN DREAM (3) was unplaced two starts ago then things went wrong last start when she broke and finished 30 metres away in tenth over 2150m at Bendigo. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Only needs to get things right to be in the money. ALDEBARAN MARCUS (2) is the best of the rest after finishing third over 2230m at Globe Derby Park last time out. Include from the low draw.

Last start hung in on scoring up, 4th (Fr6) over 2180m after racing wide at Kilmore beaten 20 m by Met With A Shrug (2:49.00) on July 8 at $3.10. Two runs back came from midfield and won by 1.2 m (Sr2) at Kilmore (2:09.60) beating Dona Amalia in on July 2 at $4.20 at the bell was 3rd-4.44. Maybe a place from the pegs draw.

Two back was seventh after being driven well back, behind Sister Patrick at Globe Derby Park over 2230m in a 3yo+ on June 27 at $19. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing third behind Daisy Bouchea at Globe Derby Park over 2230m on June 29 at $5.50. Nice effort last time. Worth including.

Last start 10th (Fr5) over 2150m at Bendigo, beaten 30 m by Little Miss Morgan (2:45.10) on July 1 at $4.20. The start before 10th (Fr1) over 2150m at Bendigo, beaten 21 m by Rocky Valley (2:37.00) on June 24 at $6. Certainly worth another chance.

Last start was well back in the run when 8th (Fr6) over 2160m at Echuca well beaten by Jackies Gift (2:43.20) on July 7 at $41. Two runs back was driven from back in the field when 6th (Fr6) over 1690m at Maryborough was 5th-8.8 at the bell, beaten 12 m by Adelaide Red (2:07.80) on April 20 at $21. Strips fitter and expect to see a much better run.

Last preparation only had 3 starts before going for a break. Returned to racing with a handy 4 m win (Sr1) at Bendigo (2:45.10) beating The Chook in on July 1 at $3.70 at the bell was leading 0.13. Hard to beat again.

Solid performance when beaten by 1.75 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Sammy Haller at Melton over 1720m on June 12 at $1.90. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Sebastians Waiting at Bendigo over 2150m on June 24 at $2.15. Should be in the finish again.
