Shepparton Race 5 - Neatline Pace
WINGATE GUY (7) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 7 metres from the winner in second over 2190m at Maryborough. Will need a bit of luck negotiating a very wide starting position. Won't find this any harder and he can grab that well-deserved win. TREACHEROUSTIMES (1) produced a better effort last start when third over 1690m at this track, beaten 5.5 metres, after racing handy. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Won't find this any harder and he can find the winners' circle. IAMAWINGATE (4) didn't do a bad job when fifth over 1609m at Cranbourne last time out. TOPHUT JOHNY (2) is worth some thought based on his third over 1690m at this track two runs ago.

Improved last start with a good run when 3rd (Fr5) over 1690m after showing early speed and racing wide at this track, at the bell was 2nd-1.64 beaten 5.5 m by Mammals Reason (2:03.70) on August 4 at $2.70. With even luck is a winning chance.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start 5th (Sr1) over 1609m at Cranbourne was 8th-14.6 at the bell, beaten 10 m by Dot Ball (1:59.60) on August 2 at $6. The run prior 8th (Sr2) over 1690m at this track beaten 35 m by Maurlen Compass (2:01.20) on July 28 at $31. Best form should see him in the finish.

Chasing a hat-trick. Last start won by 2.5 m as favourite (Sr3) at this track (2:03.70) beating Mammals Blaze in on August 4 at $2.30 at the bell was 3rd-4.24. Hard to leave out on current form. Will make her presence felt.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 7th (Fr6) over 2180m after racing wide at Kilmore beaten 23 m by Archaa (2:42.00) on August 6 at $41. Two runs back 4th (Sr3) over 2240m at Melton beaten 9 m by Talisker Skipper (2:45.10) on July 31 at $9. This looks far too tough.

Fair performance when beaten by 5 m finishing third behind Skyz Above at Ballarat over 2200m on July 29 at $34. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing second behind Milola Rock at Maryborough over 2190m on August 3 at $7.50. Leading contender.

Will be about the money.
