Shepparton Race 2 - Willowood Farm Pace
MYNAMEISRUBY (7) took charge early on and kept going to salute at her latest appearance over 2240m at Swan Hill, getting home by a neck. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw, but she tackles a similar assignment and she can salute once again. FINAL BOW (5) was prominent from the outset last start and finished fourth, beaten 9 metres, in a far better performance at Cranbourne over 1609m. Big chance in a similar assignment. ATOMIC GLORY (3) was responsible for a better effort last time out when runner-up over 1609m at Cranbourne. Should run a big race. ALCATRAZ GIRL (8) is the best of the rest after finishing fifth over 1690m at this track last time out.

Last start 5th (Sr2) over 1690m at this track, at the bell was 7th-10.8 beaten 8 m by Mammals Reason (2:03.70) on August 4 at $11.
