Shepparton Race 2 - Bob Steen Happy 80th Birthday Pace
MAMMALS REASON (5) won at this track two runs ago but couldn't repeat the dose at her latest appearance over 2190m at this track, beaten 5 metres. Meets a comparable field and she can bounce back to winning form. ELIZAJANE (10) was out of the money two starts ago then things went amiss last start when she broke and finished a long last over 1690m at Kilmore. Draws out a little on the second line and may need luck at some point. Meets a similar line up so she is sure to be a force if the manners improve. ELLEEGANT LANE (4) is on the radar after her last-start fourth over 1609m at Cranbourne nine days ago. OUR MYSTERY BET (7) must be considered after he finished third over 1690m at this track a week ago. Include in all combinations.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 6th (Fr7) over 2190m at this track, beaten 13 m by The Irishman (2:43.20) on August 18 at $21. At the start before 8th (Fr7) over 2180m at Kilmore beaten 45 m by Miki Mark (2:43.90) on July 22 at $12. Much better gate this time and expected to finish closer.

Didn't do much last start, then settled down to finish eighth over 1758m at Leeton last start. Before that failed to finish when he ran at Riverina Paceway on June 5 over 1740m. This looks too tough.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 3 m fourth behind Caruso Star at Cranbourne over 1609m last start. Before that was beaten 3.5 metres fourth at Albury over 1770m same class on August 11. Capable of taking this out.

Solid performance when beaten by 1.2 m finishing second behind Treacheroustimes at this track over 2190m on August 11 at $6. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Aussie Jay Mac at this track over 1690m on August 18 at $31. Should be in the finish again.

Returns to racing after a spell of ten weeks. Well beaten at the end of his last preparation at this course and distance when eighth at very big odds behind Im Dustee. Has been sharpened up at the trials but will be better for this outing.
