Shepparton Race 4 - The Carrington Concession Drivers Trot
LOVE WHO (4) won at Kilmore two runs ago before having his colours lowered at his latest appearance over 2180m there, beaten 25 metres. Meeting a deeper field this time but he good enough to play a major role. ALDEBARAN MARCUS (7) finished third last start, beaten 14 metres at Kilmore over 1690m. Expected to run well. BETSY ANNE (3) is worth another chance after a last-start seventh over 2240m at Melton six days ago. Can bounce back against this line-up. CADENCE LANE (8) is worth some thought despite her last-start seventh over 2200m at Ballarat on August 5. One for the multiples.

Last start 6th (Fr4) over 1720m at Melton beaten 25 m by Sambezia (2:08.10) in 4yo+ on August 12 at $71. Two runs back 5th (Fr5) over 1710m at Ballarat, at the bell was 4th-7.21 beaten 9 m by Callinan (2:08.10) on August 5 at $34. Not keen on her chances in this line-up.

Last start 7th (Fr2) over 2240m at Melton beaten 30 m by The Preacher (2:48.30) on August 12 at $81. At the previous start 7th (Fr2) over 2200m at Ballarat, beaten 30 m by Silent Reverie (2:46.50) on August 5 at $10. This easier and is certainly worth another chance.

Failed to impress last start; 6th (Fr2) over 2180m at Kilmore, beaten 25 m by Fling It Rainbow (2:47.00) on August 13 at $3. Showed ability the outing before when he won by a head (Fr4) at Kilmore (2:48.70) beating Brooklyngotcourage in on August 6 at $3.80. Capable of playing a major role.

Two back was seventh behind Straight To Thetop at this track over 2190m on August 4 at $7.50. Then a handy effort when third behind Champagnes at Kilmore over 1690m on August 13 at $14. Heading the right way and is a leading player.
