Shepparton Race 5 - Willowood Farm Vicbred Voucher Trot
DONA AMALIA (7) turned in a good effort last start, coming from a similar barrier and finishing fourth at Kilmore. Tactics will be crucial but with even luck she has the ability to win a race like this. ABBIE (8) did well to finish second two starts ago at Melton then worked when midfield at her latest appearance. Can travel in a nice spot from this draw and wait on the sprint lane if necessary. Good enough to make an impact in a race like this. CLASSIC FAIR (9) bombed the start last time so is still learning but has more upside than most of these. Worth another chance. SKYVALLEY BOY (2) broke after being checked when resuming. Likely to get the favours from this nice draw and his lone win came at this venue.

Last start 9th (Sr1) over 1690m at Kilmore beaten 90 m by Koufax (2:06.80) on October 8 at $6.50. Two runs back 7th (Fr7) over 2190m at this track, at the bell was leading 4.4m on the pegs well beaten by Fritsch (2:50.60) on July 28 at $2.10. Fitter and draws well so expect a better performance this time.

Failed to impress last start; was well back in the run when 7th (Fr4) over 2080m at Cranbourne, well beaten by Kyvalley Reeva (2:36.10) on September 13 at $4. Showed ability the race before when he posted a big 5 m win as favourite (Sr1) at Maryborough (2:51.10) beating Speshal in on July 13 at $2.70 at the bell was 6th-10.7m 2WWC. Capable of more than he has shown recently. Best form puts him right in this.
