Shepparton Race 6 - Vhrc / Mark Gurry & Associates Trot
ALDEBARAN DENBAY (5) has been in outstanding form of late, the latest offering a win at this track over 2190m when he led all the way and scored by 7 metres. Must raise the bar but he has the ability to test this field. SPIRITED GIGI (6) is taking on a far easier race this time after finishing 11th in a Group One at his latest appearance over 2690m at Maryborough, beaten 55 metres by Mister Devereaux. Sure to prove hard to beat in this lineup. STRAIGHT TO THETOP (2) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish second at this track over 2190m. Genuine threat. DEEJAY DEX (7) is an each-way prospect after having finished third at Maryborough over 1690m after having raced outside the leader at the bell.

Before that 8th (Fr2) over 2180m after showing early pace at Kilmore, at the bell was 4th-6.94 beaten 14 m by Majestic Monarch (2:46.40) on October 14 at $61. Facing a tough assignment this time around.

Two back was well beaten into ninth behind Majestic Monarch at Kilmore over 2180m on October 14 at $6.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing second behind Waikare Adrienna at this track over 2190m on October 20 at $4. Drawn to advantage and among the chances again.

Finished up last campaign with a win at Melton, and continued with decent results this campaign with a first-up effort good run when 3rd (Fr4) over 2190m after showing early pace at this track, at the bell was leading 0.54 beaten 15 m by Waikare Adrienna (2:43.50) on October 20 at $4.60. Then last outing was well back in the run when 4th (Fr7) over 1690m at Maryborough was 8th-10.5 at the bell, beaten 13 m by Itz Classic Gold (2:06.30) on October 30 at $7. A big run would not surprise.

Racing consistently. Last start posted a big 7 m win as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr6) at this track (2:46.70) beating Aldebaran Mistique in on October 28 at $1.65 at the bell was leading 3.28. Should be in the finish again.

Last start was well beaten into eleventh behind Mister Devereaux at Maryborough over 2690m in a 3yo G1 on November 1 at $101. Performed better the start before with a solid effort when 3rd (Fr4) over 1720m after showing early speed at Melton was 3rd-4.58 at the bell, beaten 15 m by The Preacher (2:03.90) in 3yo on October 21 at $19. Watch for a spike in form.
