Shepparton Race 3 - Tatura Shavings Pace
OLLIES THE BOSS (8) led last start and finished second in a far better performance at Melton over 2240m, beaten a neck. Shouldn't spend a penny from this draw and the sprint lane may come in handy. Has the talent to take care of this field. KING SAINT (4) finished second at Melton two runs ago before making up plenty of ground after having raced six back on the fence at the bell but finding one better at his latest appearance over 1690m at this track. Tackles a similar assignment and he can give this a mighty shake. KIA ORA BEAUTY (5) is on the radar after her last-start fourth over 1770m at Albury a week ago. Has won four of 16 runs at this track. WICKED MITZI (7) was thereabouts last time out at the second run back from a spell finishing fourth of seven over 2180m at Stawell. Open to plenty of improvement. Include in combinations.

Resuming after 12 weeks off the scene. Ran only once last campaign running when well beaten into tenth behind Ideal Bandit at this track over 1690m on May 3 at $9. Capable of more than she has shown recently. Sure to be in the mix while fresh.

Last start surrendered the lead and finished 6th (Fr2) over 1720m after showing early speed at Melton was 3rd-3.83 at the bell, beaten 17 m by Maas Betting Again (2:01.30) on July 18 at $71. Two runs back was driven from back in the field when 3rd (Fr6) over 1740m at Riverina Paceway, at the bell was 9th-13.7 beaten 9 m by Lombok (2:03.20) on July 3 at $26. Not keen on her chances in this field.

Fair run when beaten by 3 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Nugget Rogers at Melton over 1720m on July 15 at $11. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.75 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Rollonart at this track over 1690m on July 21 at $3.80. Very hard to beat.
