Shepparton Race 5 - Hygain 3yo Mdn Pace

MAJOR FRIEND (3) has been in the placings two times from as many appearances this campaign. Settled handy and closed well to finish second last start over 1690m at this track. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Leading hope based on what we have seen of late. A ROCKN NIGHTMARE (8) has had two runs this prep and is yet to finish in the top three. Added to the sequence last time over 2240m at Melton, finishing 14 metres away from the winner in fourth. Can settle just behind them and wait on the sprint lane. Meets a similar line up and she is a strong winning hope. ELLIANA (5) didn't do a bad job when finishing fourth over 2180m at Kilmore last time out. Well worth an each-way ticket. CAPTAIN MILO (2) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish third at this track over 1690m.

Two back was well beaten into eighth after being driven well back, behind Bungy at Kilmore over 1690m on July 2 at $34. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Esthers Best at this track over 1690m on July 21 at $17. Heading the right way now.

Solid run when beaten by 1.3 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Aruval at Melton over 1720m in a 3yo on July 15 at $4.33. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Esthers Best at this track over 1690m on July 21 at $6.50. Among the top chances again.

Last start 4th (Fr1) over 2240m after showing early pace at Melton was 2nd-3.8 at the bell, beaten 14 m by Imagunnarestngo (2:47.00) in M on July 10 at $3. Before that, was well back in the run when 8th (Fr4) over 1650m at Bendigo, beaten 80 m by Jilliby Illusion (1:59.50) in M on July 1 at $13. This looks a nice assignment so watch for a better run.
