Shepparton Race 5 - Casablanca Pizza Concession Drivers Pace (Ratings Exempt)
FOREGONE CONCLUSION NZ (3) was racing well before the latest appearance when he scored by 4 metres over 2180m at Kilmore. No excuses from this advantageous draw and rates a primary contender in this comparable race. TALISKER SKIPPER (4) has been racing well, filling a top-five position at his last six starts including a second most recently at Kilmore over 2180m. Meets a similar line up so he can play a significant role. HIGHVIEW HAMMER (5) has been about the mark of late and must be respected, the latest offering a sound fourth at Echuca over 1755m. Contender. PARINI (6) has been trialling well ahead of the return. Keep safe.

At the run before was well back in the run when 4th (Fr2) over 1650m at Bendigo, at the bell was 3rd-4.34 beaten 9 m by Watch Your Back (1:57.80) on June 24 at $8. Can make amends from the coveted pegs draw.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Watch Your Back at Bendigo over 1650m on June 24 at $5.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Foregone Conclusion at Kilmore over 2180m on July 2 at $5.50. Will give a good account again.

Last start 6th (Sr1) over 1690m at Kilmore, at the bell was 8th-13.4 beaten 17 m by Covered In Gold (2:03.60) on July 2 at $15. At her previous start 10th (Fr6) over 1690m after being wide early at this track beaten 40 m by Postit Lafite (2:01.10) on June 23 at $19. Better than recent form suggests; great chance to bounce back.
