Shepparton Race 6 - David Abrahams & Iris De Jong Pace

MELICAN (8) opened this prep in great form with a authoritative win last start over 2180m at Kilmore, getting home by 19 metres after taking an early lead. Will enjoy a pretty soft run from this draw, with the sprint lane to play a big role. Tackles a similar assignment and she can play a major role again. CRACKIN PHILTRA (5) scored by 4 metres over 2150m at Bendigo at his last appearance on June 24. Sure to prove hard to beat on his return. OZZIE TART (3) must be considered after she finished runner-up over 2180m at Kilmore two weeks ago. THE KING OFTHEROAD (7) last appeared when runner-up over 2190m at this track three-and-a-half months ago. Must be respected.
