Shepparton Race 6 - Gv Plasters Products Pace
ESTHERS BEST (7) produced a better effort last time out when she scored by 8 metres over 1690m at this track. Has to contend with a very wide draw but meets a comparable field and she can go right on with the job. MATRIARCH DAISY (5) was yet again about the mark last start when runner-up over 1720m at Melton, beaten 5 metres. Recent efforts are good enough to put her right in the finish. THERESHEWAS (2) is looming as a real threat after a better effort last start, finishing third at Bendigo over 2150m. Top-three commodity. SWEET LOUANNE (8) was out of the money two runs ago then overcame a break to finish third, beaten 5 metres, over 1690m here a week ago. Won't find this any harder and she will be competitive again.

Placed last start 3rd (Fr3) over 1790m after showing early pace at Mildura was 4th-4.9m 2WWC at the bell, beaten 6 m by Loyola Spiaggia (2:12.70) on November 21 at $5. Before that was well back in the run when 2nd (Fr6) over 1790m after being wide early at Mildura was 8th-20.2m 2WWC at the bell, beaten a nose by Random Mahoney (2:12.50) on November 12 at $5.50. Has only trialled once and might be short on fitness.

Last start game effort when 2nd (Fr4) over 1720m after showing early speed at Melton, at the bell was 4th-6.34 beaten 5 m by Tactically Perfect (2:02.20) in 3yo on June 12 at $9. Two runs back won by a head as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr5) at Melton (2:04.80) beating Sweetheart Dior in 3yo on May 29 at $1.55 at the bell was leading 2.07. This easier and expected to go well again.
