Shepparton Race 3 - Neatline Pace
BAY OF FIRES (5) made an immediate impact on debut last start, scoring by 2.75 metres over 1690m at Kilmore. Meets a comparable field and he can go right on with the job. HEAVENLY FLYER (4) was without a win before displayed pleasing improvement last start to score by 7 metres over 1690m at Kilmore six weeks ago. Her last-start form is good enough to take out a race like this. FULL CRUNCH AHEAD (3) is in the mix at his first run since scoring over 2150m at Bendigo seven months ago. Top-three credentials. SWEET LOUANNE (9) is the best of the rest after finishing runner-up over 1690m at this track last time out. Can trouble the judge with any luck in running. Something for the Multiples: DALLASCOWBOY (8)

Three-year-old filly by Poster Boy out of Millah Joy on debut. Finished sixth at Shepparton in a trial on August 6 over 1690m. Will derive great benefit from this hit-out.

Last start was well back in the run when 7th (Fr7) over 1740m at Riverina Paceway was 9th-17.9 at the bell, beaten 10 m by Aftershock (2:03.80) in 3yo on August 7 at $7.50. Two runs back came from midfield and posted a big 3.5 m win after showing early speed, (Fr3) at Charlton (1:57.90) beating Tryx Vixen in on February 2 at $2.50 at the bell was 4th-4.2m 2WWC. Strips fitter and expect a better performance this time.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 4.5 m second behind Esthers Best at this track over 1690m last start. Before that was beaten 5 metres third here same class on July 28. One of the better chances.
